Golden State Warriors superstar forward Kevin Durant said playing in the NBA “is never going to fulfill” him as he continues to “push the limits” on who he is as a person.

On Friday, Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area provided comments from Durant about what brings him happiness away from the basketball court.

“Being around family. Being around friends,” he said. “The people who actually love you deep down to your core, who won’t judge you, who will let you grow mentally, physically, you know? Just let you be who you are. I like those environments.”

The two-time NBA champion added: “All that stuff will fulfill me more so than anything … just building toward something that’s sustained when I’m not even here on this Earth. My family could be straight when I die. That’s the type of stuff I tend to think about.”
