During a recent episode of his Point Forward Podcast, former Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala revealed what he believes is Kevin Durant's only flaw.
"There's only one flaw in [Kevin Durant's] game, and it has nothing to do with basketball. KD's only flaw is he won't lift weights. That's it. So you can like foul him, and he's so good they get mad and they just let him foul him. I'm like, 'KD, if you just lift weights.' But if you watch him work out, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Everybody should go watch KD workout... The ball goes into the hole the exact same way every single time - back rim."
Durant saw this take, and responded to it on Twitter:
Now I don’t lift weights, aight man….. these boys say anything on these podcasts https://t.co/05BrwX19VA

Whether Durant was actually upset or just playing around with his former teammate, it does seem as if he does not entirely agree with what Iguodala said on this episode. Of course not known for his physical strength, Durant plays a different game than most players his size. That said, it's unlikely the two-time Finals MVP has been able to carve out this level of a career without any strength training at all.
Winning two championships with Iguodala in Golden State, the two have history together, but Durant called out this particular take.
