Don't usually (actually, never do) post references from Bleacher Report, but this came up on my feed and thought it's contents were more interesting than it's source.

Per Bleacher Report:

[QUOTE]LeBron James has a not-so-secret admirer, and his name is Kevin Durant.

In an interview with Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated, Durant admits to a number of things, including his distaste for second place, his employment of a personal analytics expert and an affinity for LeBron:

Is KD too obsessive over statistical value? Can that ultimately hinder a player's game, or does it enhance it?

At least give credit to the actual source of the material instead of some leech site.

Meanwhile, Westbrook shoots another 3.

Wilt when he was gunning for assists and MJ during the triple double streak were big on checking the scorers table during games, though iirc Magic/Bird admitted to checking box scores the day after games to see how the other did.

Either way, interesting.

I can't knock the hustle

Lol I wonder what he thinks about Westbrook's game because his efficiency is the total opposite of LeBron's

The man's using every tool and science he can to become better. Are people mad about this?

obsessed loser

I think he is devising an unique half-court heave chart for his good friend LeBron...

KD is your typical boxscore poster. Looks at boxscore and thinks he understands everything.

[MastaKilla]

I believe Durant can be that dude, all he gotta do is conclude the NBA is his to rule, challenge Lebron to a dual and watch as he drool

I tbink he is misguided and it makes me dislike him as a player.
