The Houston Rockets' Kevin Durant has received a lot of accolades throughout his career. He's never made an All-Defensive team, and he thinks politics play a role in that.

"Politics play a role in all these awards. It's more than hoop."

- Kevin Durant

It's hard to say what politics Durant is referring to. For whatever reason, he seems to be suggesting that non-basketball reasons have kept him off All-Defensive teams.

That's interesting. It should pique the interest of Rockets fans. Durant would likely love to add an All-Defensive nod to his illustrious resume.
