PHOENIX — When Brian Keefe sat down for his pregame news conference Saturday, he had yet to catch up with Kevin Durant. The Washington Wizards coach said he would talk trash to the Phoenix Suns superstar — and then thought better of it. “I’ll try not to,” he said. “I know how that fires him up.”
Kevin Durant has earned a $1.3M bonus for being selected to the All-Star game. The bonus was deemed likely and does not impact the Suns tax bill. This was Durant's 15th time being selected as an All-Star.
Regardless of that, Durant has always been hailed as one of the best scorers that the NBA has ever seen. Former Golden State Warriors teammate Andre Iguodala got to see that up close and personal when the two played together in the Bay Area.

Durant is tied with Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O'Neal for the fourth-most All-Star selections in NBA history.
One 19-year NBA pro and Hall of Fame star believes the team should shop around and try and land Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Paul Pierce is quite overzealous with the pitch, though he thinks the Suns should ship Kevin Durant to his original club in favor of the 22-year-old 7-footer.
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant was named an NBA All-Star Game starter in the frontcourt for the Western Conference on Thursday.
Netflix's "Court Of Gold" documentary film premieres Feb. 18. Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant headlines the film.
Devin Booker scored the game-high 32 points and Kevin Durant had 24 to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 108-84 win at the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday to conclude a five-game road trip.
"Ask the other 29 GMs -- 26 of them would trade their whole team for our whole team and our draft picks and everything as is," Ishbia said during a press conference following the first-round sweep his Phoenix Suns suffered at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Kevin Durant sounds off on critics who don't think his longevity will last with the Suns, and the rest of his career.
