Kevin Durant’s Post-Game Interview with ESPN:

Question: Can you tell us how you walked so confidently into the three when you are down and the Finals game was on the line?

Kevin Durant #35: All I was looking at was the bottom of the net. And I saw that [LeBron’s] heels were behind the three point line. I’ve been working on that shot my whole life. And uh, you know for that one to go in… That was liberating right there man. So we got one more win. We gotta keep going.

I love the intensity and the meaning behind this quote by Kevin Durant; he’s been my favorite player to watch in the playoffs this year.

People usually focus on the result and ask questions about how that particular outcome was attained.

Only by falling in love with the process of preparing yourself, will you have the ability and the confidence to execute at an insanely high level when those key moments appear.

And even with an incredible result, Kevin Durant doesn’t linger too long. He stays locked in and looks at what’s next…

One more win. We gotta keep going.
