Kevin Durant addresses his viral club video
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant set the record straight on the viral video capturing him practicing his shooting form in a club. During a recent appearance on the Up & Adams Show, Durant revealed that his impromptu shooting display was in response to a playful challenge from a friend.
"I was lifting that whole week so my shoulder was a little tight," Durant explained. He recounted that his friend had taunted him, claiming that he could lock Durant down and prevent him from scoring.
Unwilling to back down, Durant took the opportunity to show what he would do on the court in response to the challenge, even though his friend was not visible in the video, shouting from across the club while Durant practiced his shots on the dance floor.
Despite the viral club incident, Durant remains a pivotal force for the Suns as he continues to display his unparalleled scoring prowess. Last season, the 35-year-old forward played a crucial role in leading the team, averaging an impressive 27.1 points per game, tying Devin Booker for the team lead.
