Quiet Storm: Low Key KD Inks $85-Million Deal With OKC Without Glare Of Spotlights
-
Kevin Durant didn’t need to style and profile for the cameras. Besides, it isn’t his style.
Unlike LeBron James, who will present his case to millions tomorrow, Durant, the NBA most promising upcoming superstar, quietly signed a 5-year deal worth an estimated $85 million with the Thunder. And true to his humble roots and personality, Durant offered a tribute to his youth league coach, the late Charles Craig, who is the reason Durant wears No. 35. Craig, who mentored Durant as a youth, was killed in a drive-by shooting at the tender age of 35 in the D.C. area.
Durant obviously is the real deal on the court, but his off-the-court gestures speak volumes of an outstanding individual. Props to him.
And unlike LeBron, Durant hasn’t kicked agent Aaron Goodwin to the curve.
