Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant is finally setting the record straight on *that* viral photo everyone saw earlier this summer. He swears he wasn’t attempting to hide behind a bush outside Malibu’s Nobu restaurant, despite what it looked like.
Durant Sets The Record Straight On Nobu Shenanigans
“You thought I was hiding behind a bush? This is insane,” Durant told Speedy Morman on Boardroom Talks. “Why would I hide behind a bush?” He admits it “made sense, it looked like I was,” and the headlines were “just crazy,” but his take? Total misunderstanding. Durant explained he was simply coming out of Nobu “like everybody else,” through what he described as a “tall grassy fence or whatever.” He’s not here for the hiding rumors.
The Paparazzi Capital And What It Means For KD’s Season Prep
Durant even pointed out that if he wanted to avoid cameras, he wouldn’t pick a spot he calls “the paparazzi capital.” Remember, The Daily Mail initially reported the 6-foot-11 Durant had “attempted to hide himself behind a tall bush.” Now 38 in September, Durant is gearing up for his second season with the Rockets after putting up 26 points per game last campaign. He’s been spending his offseason training with other All-Stars like Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero, getting ready to make some noise.
