Video Game Losses Fuel Durant's Fire?

[Whisper]

If you had one guess, what would you say is driving Kevin Durant this season?

The scoring title? An All-Star appearance? A playoff berth?

How about video games?

“People might not believe me, but when I go home (after practice) I play video games and I lose all the time,” Durant said. “And I get so mad that I come back and I want to win everything. Something that small puts that winning mentality into my head.”

The NBA’s sixth leading scorer last season is off to a good start after Wednesday’s season-opening 102-89 victory over Sacramento. A stiffer test is in store tonight as the Thunder rolls into Detroit to take on a more talented Pistons team. But the goal of winning remains the same.

“That’s what this year is all about,” Durant said. “We have the right group of guys here and we all want to win, so that makes it easier as well.”

LMAO maybe the whole Thunder roster should all suck at video games.

Maybe hes losing so much at video games bcuz he's playing with the Thunder, lmao. Other things have to motivate him as well, maybe video games is one of his main ones. Durant is ready to take it to the next level and become All-star status.

I'm the same way; when I lose in Madden or anything for that matter, I tend to ignore everything and get <Censored>ing outraged.

I dont like losing but my old college roommate definately would be in a rage, throwing and kicking things when the opposing team would kick a field goal making it a 70-3 game and hes winning...

After I'm up by 50 I could give a <Censored>.

I once beat a kid in-excess of 100 points, it was a <Censored>-fest.

Darko doesn't suck, he has no work ethic, like Kwame Brown for about 3 years.
