Critics have gone after (Kevin) Durant for years, each season claiming he needs to get stronger even in spite of his scoring prowess. It’s been a justifiable critique seeing as how Durant easily gets pushed off his spot when fighting for position and frequently must drift well beyond the 3-point line to receive a clean entry pass.

But Durant’s body is changing.

From his lower body, through his midsection on up to where it’s as clear as ever — his upper body — Durant has bulked up.

As with everything else that defines his skills, Durant isn’t overly interested in discussing the matter. That he said as much as he did hints that he has indeed gotten stronger and is darn proud of it.
