Durant: ‘We’re going to miss Russ, no doubt’

KD in an interview that aired on SportsCenter Wednesday:

“We’re going to miss Russ, no doubt. We’ve seen that, especially in the playoffs. So we’re going to miss him. But guys gotta step up. Everybody’s worked hard on their games this summer and we’ve got to step up. I know I’ve got to step up a lot. I’ve got to come with it. I’ve got to make sure my teammates are ready.”

Also, KD was asked about the whole being second thing: “So many people say it’s cool to be in the top three, or the top two. It’s cool that you’re considered the second best player. But I don’t care. I just want to be the best. That’s every player’s mindset and it’s definitely mine.”

“There are only three things I really want,” says KD. “First is a title, then Finals MVP and MVP. And if I don’t get it, like I keep saying, I’m going to die trying.”
