Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant was not elected to participate in the 2009 All-Star game. However in a recent interview, he revealed that just being mentioned up there with the likes of Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Duncan and West was enough to keep him happy.
“Just to be in the conversation for a young guy like me feels good,” Durant said. “It just pushes me to work harder and help this team get better. I’m excited to be playing in the rookie-sophomore game and be part of All-Star weekend.
“I’ve heard people say if he doesn’t make it this year he will be (an All-Star) for years to come,” Durant said. “As a competitor, as a player I want things to happen as soon as possible. If I’m playing like an All-Star I should be in the All-Star Game. Sometimes that may not happen.”
