Shortly after the Golden State Warriors won their third title in four years, Kevin Durant—who had just won his second straight Larry O'Brien Finals trophy—said something surprising: he was considering retiring at the age of 35. Durant, who will turn 30 in September and has become an active investor in multiple Silicon Valley projects, said he was interested in pursuits outside of the NBA.
In a new interview on The Undefeated, Kelley L. Carter asked Boston star Kyrie Irving if he could resonate with K.D. Irving's answer was fascinating:
Kyrie and K.D. are two of the most outspoken and culturally engaged stars in the NBA, and they're also close friends, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that they're on the same page.
Later in the interview, Kyrie said sitting out in the playoffs "completely sucked" and discussed the upcoming release of his new movie, Uncle Drew. The film hits theaters June 29.
