"hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" - Kevin Durant

anyone just hear it? he actually makes a good point

Hard work beats talent when talent is on or near the same level. No matter how hard I work, I won't be as effective an NBA player as your favorite team's laziest, most uncaring and unskilled player.

But that goes without saying. And this is what Durant meant, just didn't describe it verbatim to that extent.

:oldlol: Thats the 1st time you heard this quote?

Everyone says this..

And yes I'm aware I'm nitpicking just for the sake of nitpicking :oldlol:

Well its like back in the day laker fans were split. One group was for Odom and the other group wanted him gone.

The pro odom group said "he's so talented"
the against group said "Whats talent gonna do for us if he doesnt play hard"

Yes, I've heard many good but very generic sayings similar to this.

i'm curious as to what Durant was talking about when he said this

He was hinting to lebron.

KD - Likewise, hard work is useless without talent

just give it up already. you had your chance and now it's Curry's time.
