MILWAUKEE – The text message and phone calls flooded Kevin Durant’s inbox on Thursday morning as frequently as he scores.
The Warriors’ forward said he felt forever grateful and humbled he received such support a day after becoming the second youngest NBA player and 44th NBA player overall to eclipse 20,000 career points. Quickly enough, Durant vowed to tackle his itinerary with a specific philosophy. Said Durant: “It’s a new day and start over.”
Therefore, the Warriors (33-9) enter Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks (22-18) with Durant spending less time consumed with his past accomplishments. Instead, Durant has leaned on his past foundation to ensure a sturdy future on two fronts.
