KD: Kevin Durant's Relentless Pursuit To Be the Greatest

NBA star Kevin Durant has won two NBA Championships, two Finals MVPS, and made ten All Star appearances. Once regarded as a humble star on the Oklahoma City Thunder, he has been cast in a negative light since joining the Golden State Warriors. Thompson (Golden: The Miraculous Rise of Steph Curry) seeks to understand Durant's complexities, beginning with his childhood being raised by his mother and grandmother on the outskirts of Washington, DC. Despite his thin physical stature, Durant's mental toughness and work ethic propelled him to become a star player at the University of Texas at Austin. In the NBA, the Thunder became a powerhouse with the superstar duo of Durant and Russell Westbrook. Despite the accolades, Durant grew frustrated with their inability to win a championship. Thompson describes Durant's pivotal decision to join the Warriors and the criticism that resulted, as well as the intricate relationships with teammates such as Westbrook, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green. Beyond basketball, Thompson covers the importance of religion in Durant's life as well as his frustration with the media.
