Kevin Durant lists his basketball Mount Rushmore
Kevin Durant has some free time on his hands as he recovers from season-ending foot surgery, so he decided to host a Q&A on Twitter Wednesday.
Durant answered a handful of basketball-related questions and gave fans some interesting answers. Among other things, he shared who would have a place on his basketball Mount Rushmore as the top four players in history. You can tell from his answer which era he grew up in.
Jordan, bird, Kobe, magic RT @MoneyManBoug: @KDTrey5 who's on your Mount Rushmore

Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were stars/rivals from the ’80s, while Michael Jordan dominated the ’90s and won six championships. Kobe Bryant was somewhat of a curious selection because he is more of a contemporary for Durant.
One of the other notable answers from Durant came when he said Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen is the toughest one-on-one defender in the league.
Tony Allen. We've had some fun battles RT @NabilDhirani: @KDTrey5 Toughest one on one defender in the league?

Allen has long been regarded as one of the best defenders in the league, so this is not much of a surprise, but it certainly is a badge of honor for the Grizzlies guard.
Below are some other answers of note from Durant:
