Kevin Durant Says There’s Beauty In The Struggle After Fourth Straight Loss
Kevin Durant speaks up on the Suns’ ongoing struggles this season.
Following the Suns’ double-digit loss to the Spurs on Thursday, Kevin Durant spoke candidly about the struggles for him and his team. Instead of talking pessimistically, Durant explained that there’s much to be gained from enduring their current challenges.
“There’s beauty in the struggle,” said Durant via AZ Central. “It’s beauty in all that stuff, especially when you come out on the other side of things and you realize that pressure and hard times make you better.”
There have been mixed interpretations of the quote and what it means for the Suns’ outlook this season. Is Durant in denial, or is he trying to look for inspiration in dark times? Only Kevin knows for sure, but he certainly hasn’t given up this season and he plans to see this through for better or worse.
As a 2x champion, former MVP, and 15x All-Star, Kevin Durant is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world and right now he’s facing a major test.
When he was traded to the Suns in 2022, it elevated their ceiling and put them in play for the NBA championship.
Alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant had hopes of leading the Suns to the top of the West standings and he has played his role well with averages of 27.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game on 53.5% shooting in three seasons.
