Houston Rockets superstar Kevin Durant has been an avid gamer for years, and it turns out that hobby has led to him making some pretty special friends. During an episode of Boardroom Talks, Speedy Morman asked Durant whether he has made friends over video games and whether they know that it's actually him they're playing with.
"Yes, they hung out with me in my house," Durant said. "They'd been friends with me for ***** near 10 years now… One of my best friends I met on the game… And it's like I trust this dude with anything. Like seriously. We hung out plenty of times. So, I'm like, 'Let me see what this dude really about.'"
With Durant regularly speaking to this person and his group of gamers during these sessions, he decided he had to meet them in person. When he did, he realized they were great people, and they are his friends to this day. While Durant is, of course, this big superstar, some of his friends have just regular day jobs.
"We got 9-to-5s," Durant said. "… And I'm like, 'How y'all got so much time to play the game with me?' My job is from 9 to 11 in the summer. I go to work, and I don't have to do that. I just go do that 'cause I love to do it. And I'm like, 'How y'all got so much time to play the game?' I'm just like, man, this my safe haven for real. This is what I do to decompress.
"It's 10 of us in a party," Durant continued. "We competitively playing the game. We communicating, trying to win. It's like when you think about it, it's good for the soul when you know after a long day at work when you come home with your homies and just vibe without having to go out and have a drink or make a big production out of it.
