It feels like yesterday, Kevin Durant was a muscular rookie in Seattle, dropping 20 points a night. Now, nearly two decades later, he’s talking about how much longer he wants to keep going in the NBA. “How long you want to play for you think?” Durant was asked. His answer? “As long as I can. I mean, I haven’t put a number on it.“
He continued, “I obviously think about retirement every year … but I still enjoy going to the gym. I still enjoy that struggle of getting better every day … so hopefully it’s in my 40s I can play until then.” That vision stretches beyond the NBA. Durant also opened up about Team USA and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
“Yeah, if I’m still me,” he said, before lighting up about the chance to keep representing the U.S. “It’s a dream come true. Just talking about it backstage, how iconic those last few games were … words can’t describe how that experience is.” Safe to assume, KD isn’t closing the door, but he’s not rushing either. “Some days I’m up for it, some days I’m not,” he admitted.
