Rich’s business partner, longtime friend, and two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant joins Out of Office for an off-the-cuff conversation about his mentality coming out of this year’s Brooklyn Nets playoff run, the way he approached the series against the Milwaukee Bucks, and what he really sees as the pivotal moments in his life and career.
