Kevin Durant Shares Thoughts on Marriage
Two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant, focused on leading the Houston Rockets to a championship this season, expressed a very different attitude toward marriage. During an appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast, “Not This Again,” Durant revealed he is not eager to pursue marriage anytime soon.
Durant’s Realistic View on Marriage
Durant pointed to the high divorce rates as a reason for his hesitation. He said,
“I think divorce is actually more of a realistic… ‘cause I mean, the percentage is higher.”
When Althoff mentioned that 50% of marriages end in divorce, Durant responded,
“That’s not good odds.”
Despite succeeding against the odds in basketball, Durant said,
“But still, that’s like banking on the rest, like, forever though…I don’t know if I want to take those odds.”
Durant’s Perspective on Relationships
He explained that his concerns are less about the word “marriage” and more about the nature of the relationship:
“It’s just like the word ‘marriage’ that I get, but it’s more so like what that relationship is like. Do I want to be with this somebody every day? Hang with the same person every day?”
Durant’s Personal Experience
Although Durant has attended many weddings, he has never envisioned himself as a groom:
“I never really dreamt of having a wedding day. It was never really when I go to weddings. This is cool.”
He added,
“It’s not like it needs to happen in my mind.”
