    I recently tore my Achilles playing football back in 2022…the mental toll that it takes on you to rehab is unbelievable….im so glad he was able to come back and be better than he was before 🖤.

    KD made me fall in love with basketball in 2009, when he tore his Achilles in 2019 i could barely watch the nba, I still remember his comeback game vs the Celtics in the preseason with the nets, this man is incredible, everyone can keep hating

    People who are old enough and were watching the NBA forget about KD foot injury in 2014-15 where he missed 55 games due to a Jones fracture foot injury before the season even started! KD was coming off a 2014 MVP season (32.0 ppg) This was a key injury because it slowed him down as far as burst of quickness that he had seasons prior...And you add on the Achilles injury that he had in the Finals (really the Second Round vs Rockets in a Game 5) And you will see KD made so many great remarkable comebacks from Key injuries that will end a Basketball Career... He's had two Knee Sprain injuries back to back (2022 & 2023 in January w/Nets) And he's still returned back putting up Great Numbers!! I've watched KD since he was playing at Texas and I can say I've seen KD put up great numbers throughout his whole career and he's still gets discredited because of his decision to join the Warriors in 2016! Taking Two Rings from Lebron has made so many of his fans upset to the point they can't give KD his credit for everything he's overcome...And we also have Warrior fans who love them some Stephen Curry say things like KD wasn't the best player on GS 😂Even tho KD was the one who put up better numbers and winning 2 Finals MVP! I'm always show you support for KD because I know who he is as a player

      Taking 2 rings from LeBron? Lol that’s funny. Coulda swore he had the same 73-9 team on his team. Might be crazy. I thought we all knew he stole them

    Phoenix suns I'm a Kevin Durant fan but Kevin Durant have to find that physical side like Jordan did Against Detroit right Kevin Durant said about his injuries was something that happened two years ago when he was playing in Brooklyn when I sport announcer asked him that question he said that was than and they moved on from that because he still playing at a high level right but that not the problem physical and driving more to the basket is so stop it even Kevin Durant don't people talking about is injuries fan's won't to see him play physical for him to win a championship that it

    Phoenix suns Kevin Durant this why I said Kevin knox would be a good pick up him playing Portland vs la clippers or Portland vs Denver he gives team problems and him coming of the bench or starting will give team problems you think about his a coach was is with Phoenix suns now he might so no but it yes he can get off his shots just like you his 610
