Kevin Durant wants to play into his 40s just like many other legends in other sports such as Tom Brady. Durant even hinted about playing a sixth man role when he gets older to prolong his career. However, NBA fans are in disarray about KD’s future plans and some even urge him to return to the Golden State Warriors.
In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Durant opened up about his age and how many years he has left in his career. The Phoenix Suns superstar feels great and would love to extend his career into his 40s if possible.
“I can catch and shoot a little bit, play a little defense, be a 3-and-D and a sixth man, maybe when I’m in my 40s,” Durant said.
When Kevin Durant was asked about retiring as a member of the Phoenix Suns, he was open to it and would love to join the team’s Ring of Honor. However, it seems like it’s possible he wants to finish his career somewhere else and couldn’t predict his future.
