Newly revised for the 2021-2022 season, Kevin The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Small Forwards details the incredible story of one of basketball's top players, Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant started his career as the face of the Thunder dynasty upon entering the league in 2007 as the second overall pick. After a nine-year stint with the Thunder, Durant opted to sign with the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 offseason. Reflecting back on Durant's time in OKC, the team came a long way, becoming one of the perennial Western Conference contenders during his tenure. Playing alongside athletic and talented players like Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Serge Ibaka, and Reggie Jackson, Durant had the opportunity to lead the Thunder to several deep playoff runs behind the helm of Coach Scott Brooks. While he did not win a championship with the Thunder, Durant accomplished quite a bit with Russell Westbrook in his nine years in OKC.

As a member of the Golden State Warriors, Durant became a champion. In just three years with the Warriors, the team went to the Finals every year, and won the championship two times. Since then, Durant has been writing his next chapter with the Brooklyn Nets. In this book, you’ll learn about Kevin’s incredible story to the NBA.

Basketball has many facets at which a player can excel. There have been excellent rebounders such as Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, and Dennis Rodman, among others. The NBA has also seen its share of passing wizards in the form of Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash. When all else failed, some defenders stopped at nothing to deprive opposing teams of baskets. Players such as Bill Russell, Joe Dumars, Dikembe Mutombo, and Gary Payton excelled at that aspect of the game. However, no matter how many ways a player can affect a game of basketball, scoring was always the name of the game. No other player could do that better than Kevin Durant.

Standing over 6’10” and a great wingspan, Kevin Durant has the height and length born to score baskets inside the paint. However, Durant was also blessed with the athleticism, grace, footwork, and handling that made him an even greater threat with the ball in his hands out on the perimeter. He has the size of a center but could move like a shooting guard on the floor.

And with the addition of his ability to hit unguardable jump shots and his stone-cold mentality of hitting bucket after bucket, Kevin Durant was a born prodigy at putting the ball through the hoop. In that aspect, he is also very efficient as demonstrated by his shooting percentages.

I really like the book and I would recommend it to anyone that likes basketball, likes Kevin Durant, or likes the Golden State Warriors. I think that in the 2007 NBA draft the Portland Trailblazers are regretting picking Greg Oden instead of Kevin Durant and that's because Greg Oden is one of the biggest busts in the game of basketball. I wish that Kevin Durant would've stayed with the Oklahoma City Thunder longer, instead of joining the Golden State Warriors, but they say "if you can't beat them join them" and so that's exactly what Kevin Durant did. Kevin Durant to me is the second-best small forward in the NBA right now and is in the top 20 players in the NBA list of all-time in my books. I also like Kevin Durant's dedication and drive to be the best when he played on an AAU basketball team in his early childhood and how he told his mom and grandma that he was going to be the best and overtime he put in the hard work that needed to be done to be the best and he's proven to us that he is the best.

I'm not sure that Clayton Geoffreys could pay me to read another one of his sub par accounts.
