Kevin Durant Says Past Depression Stemmed From Insecurity About His Appearance

His comments came in a Bobbi Althoff interview released Halloween eve.

Overview

  • Durant told Althoff he felt “stressed” and “depressed” about six years ago, attributing it to feeling insecure about how he looked.
  • He described long-running body-image worries dating to childhood, saying he felt too tall and thin and that he often stood out for no reason.
  • He said he moved past that period by accepting his appearance, recalling that he eventually “snapped out of it” and learned to let those thoughts go.
  • In the same conversation, he voiced reluctance about marriage and lifelong monogamy, saying he doesn’t see himself staying with one woman forever.
  • Coverage noted his current Houston Rockets form, with early-season averages around 27.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on 52.2% shooting.
