It's from Kevin Durant's verified YouTube account. It is very much real.

People make fake accounts that look identical to the creator of the videos and then make comments for attention on YouTube all the time. If KD actually made a comment on his video there would be a blue box behind his name, or a check mark next to his name on mobile devices to verify it's actually him. But KD would never make a comment like that, makes him sound like a complete idiot.

He made it on his community page, its already confirmed to be him....

In that case, he sounds like a complete idiot and I feel sorry for him. Thanks for clarifying.

Edited to add the translation I mentioned on another post below :

I'll tell you what Basketball is....
Basketball is the posters in your room.
The socks you wear inside out.
And the ball that has your definition on it.
Basketball is the twisted ankle. And the ball's music.
Basketball is the training, suicide drills and the (sweat) dripping jerseys.
The energy. And the thousand shots a day.
Climbing the fence. The net less rims.
120 BPM heart rates. The hustle...
Basketball's not just for men. It's for everyone. FOR EVERYONE.
Training your ass off. And the "no net" 3-pointers.
The missed dunks. And then THIS dunk.
Basketball is staying at home on a Saturday night, because on Sunday it is match-day.
The neighborhood legend. And YOUR legend.
The dribble behind the back, the crossover , the reverse. And the painful screens.
Basketball is for the morning, for the night. Anytime. Everywhere.
Basketball is the companionship, the neighborhood, your brothers.
Basketball is difficult. It's where you want to reach. It's everything.
JUST BELIEVE IT.

This is by far his best commercial yet. I still have goosebumps!
I'm sure someone will upload it with english subs for the american fans.
Pretty much Giannis describes what's the game of basketball for him while we are watching the living proof on his poor neighbourhood he was raised.

Eh, hold yourself to the same standard. To say that the Ottomans had no knowledge of food or architecture before the conquering of Constantinople and the fall of the Byzantine Empire is simply false.

But you're right, that's a discussion for another time.

Wtf did this thread turn into

Enjoy

What's this tingly feeling in my pants? I like it.

Seriously watching Giannis play and his giant strides are so much fun.

I kept trying to ear mark minute points for certain plays but the list got out of hand. I would've only added some clips of his 3s and the ASG highlights. Other than that, yeah I need a napkin for clean up.

Yes. But the company sponsors many basket events etc.

In the video Giannis explains what basketball (for him) is, quick translation:

SportsPro published it's annual list with the 50 most marketable athletes (from all Sports) globally:

Giannis ranked 41, and 3rd among basketball players behind Curry and Westbrook.
