Ja. Dazu eine Anekdote von D. J. Augustin:
Me, KD [Kevin Durant], T.J. Ford, Royal Ivey — all of us went back last summer to take classes. We would wake up early in the morning and work out with the team and then we would come back in the afternoon and play pickup. KD, he would wake up before everybody and work out with his coaches from Oklahoma City and then work out with us. Then, we would all go to class. In the afternoon, we would start playing. Pretty much everybody would be ready to stop and tired from working out all day, but he was like, “C’mon, man. Let’s keep going.” He just don’t know when to stop, man. He doesn’t know when to stop. I’ve never seen anyone (like that). I think we all love basketball. Every basketball player loves basketball, but I’ve never seen somebody love it the way he does.
He’s the greatest player ever and to have him around practices and games, it makes you want to play harder and go hard. If you are out there being lackadaisical, he’s going to say something. He’s not going to sit back and let you do whatever. He’s going to say something. You can always hear him in the gym saying something to somebody. But, he’s also always trying to make us better at the same time.
