Kevin Durant could also be one of the all-time biggest shooters in the NBA, but when it comes to showers, he’ll go.
The two-time champion and 15x All-Star sat down for an episode of the Unguarded Podcast with his Houston Rockets teammate Fred VanVleet, and now the web needs to know what’s good with his hygiene.
“I shower, I shower, I shower… but I might go a day without, two days. I might go two days sometimes without, you know what I mean, hopping in that water, wait ‘til I get to the gym,” he said. “I might just want to go musty for a day or two… I just like to feel close to, like, the trenches like that.”
Not sure why Durant is enjoying impoverished for enjoyable; however, he wasn’t completed sharing his peculiar method to pulling himself together…or, reasonably, selecting not to. When requested by VanVleet why he no longer will get his hair cut or makes use of lotion, Durant had a comparable line of reasoning.
“For what? Why get cuts? Why? Why? Why lotion my… Why lotion?,” he said. “I don’t lotion my physique like that. I would lotion my arms if they a little dry, but I don’t. What [makes] me get a cut, for real, is when I’m in my room enjoying the sport and my homies like, ‘Yeah, we got the barber on the way. Like, ‘All right, f**k it. If y’all getting a cut, I am going get one, too…’ I ain’t calling them myself.”
The 37-year-old did admit that he wasn’t always against placing his best foot ahead, but it appears he feels better when he’s maintaining it low-maintenance.
“I actually used to care at some level about like, ‘Man, I need to get a cut this week,’” he said. “Then after a while, I was like, ‘I’m method more relaxed when I’m just not giving a f**ok.’”
Well, when you could have thousands and thousands of {dollars} and the world at your fingertips, you’ve gotta discover your serenity a method or another. Interesting selection from the Easy Money Sniper, nonetheless.
Despite his method to hygiene, one factor KD doesn’t cut corners on is his method to basketball. When discussing his legacy, Durant made it clear that his only competitors is himself. Though he hopes to add a third championship to his spectacular NBA resume, the 7-foot phenom doesn’t care what anybody has to say about where he lands amongst other legends.
“I feel like I’ve mastered the game and that should be the only goal for every player,” he said. “I don’t give a f*** about Magic Johnson or Larry Bird, what they’ve done in comparison to me. The standard that they set, I want to reach that. As far as longevity, relevance, impact on the game, impact on the city. Championships, I want that too.”
He continued,
“When we won the first one, and I realized none of that s*** mattered. Like, why am I comparing myself to another man? I should be playing against myself. In my life, in general, I’m not comparing myself to no human being in anything that I do.”
Well said, KD.
