Kevin Durant’s Hygiene Remarks on Teammate’s Podcast Go Viral

He said a low‑maintenance approach helps him feel “close to the trenches” during a candid appearance on Fred VanVleet’s Unguarded.

Overview

  • Durant said he sometimes goes up to two days without showering if he’s at home and waits to clean up at the gym, adding he may “go musty for a couple days.”
  • He explained that he stopped getting regular haircuts and largely stopped using lotion, saying he felt more relaxed when he “stopped giving a f***.”
  • The comments came during a wide‑ranging conversation with teammate Fred VanVleet on the Unguarded podcast.
  • Coverage emphasized the remarks’ viral reach as separate from his on‑court performance and daily NBA routine.
  • In the same conversation and recent coverage, Durant reflected on legacy, saying he has “mastered the game,” and, as context, he became the NBA’s eighth 31,000‑point scorer on Dec. 5.
