Kevin Durant, known for his dedication to basketball, was seen practicing his jump shot at a club, according to a video shared by a fan on social media.
Amidst the party atmosphere, the former MVP was perfecting his shooting form, illustrating his commitment to staying sharp during the offseason.
This unique practice session could serve him well as he transitions back into the rigors of the upcoming basketball season.
In addition to his in-club training, Durant has been a topic of conversation for other reasons this weekend.

A viral image purported to be his Tinder profile turned out to be a hoax, prompting Durant to playfully tease fans on social media for believing it.
Despite already being one of the top shooters in the NBA, with career averages of 50.1% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range, Durant’s casual shooting practice suggests he’s aiming to enhance his skills further.
His status as one of the greatest shooters in history is well acknowledged, yet he continues to strive for improvement.
While the club scene was light-hearted, Durant’s focus will undoubtedly sharpen for the next NBA season. After his team, the Phoenix Suns, was unexpectedly swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, despite high expectations following the acquisition of Bradley Beal, Durant is looking forward to making significant strides next season.
Moreover, Durant is set to play with Team USA in the Olympics, reuniting with LeBron James for the first time in 12 years.
A gold medal win in Paris would make him the most decorated men’s basketball player in Olympic history with four gold medals, surpassing Carmelo Anthony’s total and placing him alongside legendary women’s players like Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, and Teresa Edwards.
Once the Olympics conclude, Durant’s focus will shift back to the NBA, where he aims to secure his third championship title. Despite challenges since leaving the Golden State Warriors, his partnership with Devin Booker positions him well to chase another title with the Suns next season.
