Kevin Durant admits he ‘can’t believe’ what happens when he’s playing alongside Alperen Sengun

Kevin Durant loves playing alongside Alperen Sengun

Kevin Durant has played alongside many great players throughout his career, but nobody like Alperen Sengun.

Sengun is an incredible playmaker, especially for a big man, and the closest player in the league to Nikola Jokic.

And because the Rockets are without a recognized point guard, he has prioritized creating opportunities for others lately.

Durant has gotten used to taking heavily contested shots throughout his career, but Sengun has even created some more open looks for him.

A Rockets fan on X asked Durant how he feels about Sengun’s playmaking ability after their win against the Toronto Raptors.

Durant replied: “Brother, I can’t believe it lol. Sometimes I’m surprised I’m that open and start bricking. 28 just sees everything.” He added: “We’re still figuring things out, too.”

Kevin Durant only trails James Harden in impressive Houston Rockets statistic

Kevin Durant’s fast start to life in a Houston Rockets jersey is similar to James Harden’s when he was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Durant even became the second-fastest player ever to reach 100 points for the Rockets during the game against the Raptors.

Meanwhile, another Rockets fan received an answer from Durant on X by asking him to make more free throws.

“Can you stop missing free throws, big bro? I really want you to average 30 on 50/40/90 again,” he said.

“Great analysis, biggest bro. I apologize. I will be even more locked in moving forward. I promise,” Durant replied.

The 37-year-old is a career 90 percent free-throw shooter, but he has made less than 85% from the line this season.
