Former NBA All-Star Jeff Teague recently spoke about the hardest-working players in the league, giving props to a current Rockets player. Teague mentioned Kevin Durant as one of the league's most tireless workers, citing his return from an unfortunate Achilles tear that caused him to miss the entire 2019-2020 campaign.

"Kevin Durant (is) probably one of the more dedicated players to basketball. See how recovered from his injury and still be playing at the high level," said Teague. An 18-year NBA veteran, Durant's dedication to the game has never faltered. Having averaged 25 points per game or more in 17 of his 18 seasons, Durant sits fifth all-time on the NBA's scoring list, behind LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone.

Durant also has 12 All-NBA selections, two NBA Finals MVP awards and one league MVP award to his name.
