Kevin Durant, now in his 17th NBA season and making his 14th career NBA All-Star appearance tonight, was posed with an interesting question during yesterday’s All-Star media availability.
Durant was asked by ESPN’s Tim Bontemps with him, LeBron James and Stephen Curry being the faces of the NBA for almost a decade now if he sees any obvious candidates from this younger generation who will “take on the mantle from you guys when you’re eventually done playing.”
“I think each era has five, six, seven guys that help carry the game forward, push the game forward,” Durant responded.
