“When you’re 39 in your 20th year, half your life is in the league, and you’ve played against 40% of the players who have ever played in the NBA… That longevity has to mean something.” Kevin Durant on LeBron James’ longevity 🔥 (via @boardroom)

Kevin Durant, one of the most iconic superstars of the NBA, stated recently about how he perceived his future in the league. In an interview, KD expressed that he can go along with LeBron James and Stephen Curry and maybe continue playing after reaching the 40's.
"I was just trying to get to 10 years in the league, and that was my goal. But then once you get to nine, eight, you think, 'I feel great right now. I can keep going,'" Durant revealed. His words reflect a determined mindset and an infectious optimism that never fails to impress.
For the past several years, Durant has been a model of consistency and excellence on the court. After winning the last of his four scoring titles at the age of 25, Durant's focus has shifted to scoring efficiency rather than chasing high volumes of points.
Last season marked another milestone in Durant's career when he reached the coveted 50-40-90 shooting mark for the second time in his career. This feat, which involves shooting over 50% from the field, over 40% on three-point attempts and at least 90% from the free throw line, is a testament to Durant's exceptional skill and focus on constant improvement.
Over the past 10 years, Durant has maintained outstanding shooting accuracy, exceeding 50% from the field in every season. In addition, he has demonstrated his ability from beyond the arc on six occasions, hitting 40% on three-point attempts. His dominance at the free throw line is also remarkable, having reached at least 90% on five occasions.
