NBA creates award in honor of Abdul-Jabbar

Kevin Durant has the type of playing style that should allow him to continue his career well into his late 30s, if not his early 40s. But there have been questions of whether he would like to extend his career that long.

In an interview with Logan Murdock of The Ringer, Durant suggested he would like to achieve longevity in the game.

“I want to play until I can’t no more, man,” Durant said. “A title is incredible, but what it’s going to mean to me as an individual? I want to win a title for a city, for my teammates, for the organization. Is it going to get me more notoriety, more attention, a ring? It’s not really about me. That’s how I look at championships. So I want to do this together. I’m looking forward to going on the journey with these guys.”

Durant is now on his fourth NBA team, something he is at peace with.

“I’ve been a nomad since I was a kid,” Durant said. “I done moved in five different cribs as an adolescent. I done went to three elementary schools. I done went to two middle schools. … I done went to three different high schools. I went to Texas for one year, moved. I went to Seattle for one year, moved on to the next. I just think it’s my place as a human being to explore all parts of Earth.”

Durant is currently signed with the Phoenix Suns through the 25-26 season.
