Kevin Durant delivers an “energy” reminder at 37 years old after leading the Houston Rockets past the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant is on the brink of another historic milestone, and there’s a good chance he will reach it Sunday night.

After dropping a season-high 39 points, Kevin Durant opens up about his "empowering" leadership style and why he still brings the energy to Houston's young roster.

During a post-game interview on SportsCenter Friday night after the Rockets' win over the Timberwolves, the 37-year-old Durant was asked by hosts Michael Eaves and Nicole Briscoe

Houston entered Friday with the NBA’s worst-ever 3-point shooting percentage over a seven-game span (24.6%), but it all changed versus Minnesota.

Given the chance to bash OKC's defense, Durant went the opposite way. The future Hall-of-Famer spoke highly of what the Thunder have built in their recent iteration of the franchise. Of course, he was part of their first title contender in the 2010s, but ultimately fell short of winning a Larry O'Brien trophy.

In terms of championships, Durant has yet to match Kobe, but that doesn't mean they weren't cut from the same cloth. In fact, KD also faced a lot of obstacles in his career, like Bryant, including an Achilles injury in 2019. Despite that, Durant always managed to bounce back and prove that he's still one of the best players in the league.

Kevin Durant bobbed through the Toyota Center tunnel late Friday night, exiting the Houston Rockets' home arena after scoring a season-high 39 points to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves. His mind then wandered to a 37-point outburst as a member of the Texas Longhorns 19 years ago.
