If you don\\u2019t know who KD is, please stop listening to this episode right now\\u2026 because you are embarrassing yourself\\u2026 and you should be ashamed.\\n \\nYou know I am kidding. Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets is arguably the most well rounded and dominant scorer in the NBA\\u2026 earning him the nickname Easy Money Sniper and The Slim Reaper. KD has led the NBA scoring, been a finals MVP, a two time NBA champion, and multi-time all-star. And that only covers his dominance on the court. Off the court he has built an equally dominant media company, has numerous 6 figure endorsement deals, and an investment portfolio that would make Warren Buffet blush. And as you will hear in this interview, he\\u2019s just getting started.'
