“KD” – an unauthorized biography on Kevin Durant due out in May – doesn’t report the Warriors superstar definitively will leave the Bay Area, but gives pages of clues on why he will never feel complete by finishing his career there.
The book, written by Bay area journalist Marcus Thompson II, depicts Durant as striving to be beloved, seeking to “build an empire.’’ An advanced copy was obtained by The Post.
“Durant doesn’t just fight for titles and trophies,’’ Thompson writes. “He fights for No. 1 in the court of public opinion.”
While Durant may be six weeks away from guiding the Warriors to their third straight title, the book portrays him as seeking to erase negative feelings from 2016’s stunning Golden State signing.
