Kevin Durant's strength and conditioning coach at the University of Texas, Todd Wright, called KD “WTF” at college, a phrase Brooklyn Nets fans are going to be saying a lot in 2020-21 when KD plays.
Wright called Durant's stepfather, Wayne, and told him his son was going to be called “WTF” due to his insane basketball skills.

“Obviously through recruiting you hear how good he is,” Wright said. “But this is one, you don’t get how good until you see it. I remember I called Wayne and said, ‘Wayne, I named your son WTF. Because I’m watching him and I just keep saying What the fuck? I can’t believe what the fuck I’m watching.' It was his ability to flow with the ball, to use his body, dribble at that height. It was the speed of his feet, and the passes he made. You’re watching, just like, what the fuck?”
Kevin Durant averaged 25.8 points per game during his one season at Texas. Seeing a 7-footer who can dribble and shoot the ball the way Durant does is still mind boggling. Nets and NBA fans can't wait to see Durant come back from his Achilles tear. He is truly a joy to watch out there on the basketball court.
For his NBA career, Durant has averages of 27.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists.
