Kevin Durant Responds to Andre Iguodala’s Comments on Workout Regime

Kevin Durant, the two-time NBA champion, has responded to recent comments made by Andre Iguodala regarding Durant’s workout regime. Iguodala, Durant’s former teammate with the Golden State Warriors, humorously criticized Durant’s reluctance to lift weights as his only flaw during an episode of the Point Forward podcast.

Iguodala’s playful critique suggested that Durant’s opponents sometimes resort to fouling him, given his exceptional skills, and Durant’s lack of weightlifting might be a contributing factor. The comments sparked a response from Durant, who publicly addressed the issue on social media.

In his response, Durant seemed to express a sense of displeasure with Iguodala’s comments, stating, “Now I don’t lift weights, aight man,” and added, “These boys say anything on these podcasts.” While the response may come across as a bit harsh, it’s worth noting that Durant and Iguodala have maintained a close relationship since their time together with the Warriors, and Durant’s words could be taken as good-natured banter.

The discussion about Durant’s physique has been ongoing throughout his career. Despite his tall and lean frame, Durant has consistently showcased his scoring prowess and basketball skills. Early in his career, he earned the nickname “Slim Reaper” for his ability to dominate on the court despite his slender physique.

However, Durant has also recognized the importance of physical conditioning in the NBA and has worked on building muscle strength over the years. He has showcased his efforts in the gym, including a recent post-game deadlift, indicating his commitment to maintaining peak physical condition.

While Iguodala’s comments may have a grain of truth, given Durant’s history of addressing his physical limitations and working on his strength, Durant remains confident in his abilities on the basketball court. The exchange between the two former teammates appears to be more lighthearted banter than a serious critique, reflecting the camaraderie that exists between them.
