Kevin Durant, the celebrated NBA forward, recently expressed his admiration for NFL quarterback Jayden Daniels at the FanDuel Boardroom conference. Both he and New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers, another FanDuel partner, discussed the emotional aspects of sports betting, especially the accountability fans feel when placing bets.

Durant highlighted the significance of research in betting, as many fans often place emotional bets without adequate preparation. He humorously noted his engagement with fans on social media, suggesting that he enjoys the banter and interaction.

During the event, the conversation turned personal as Nabers shared his connection with Daniels, a former college teammate at LSU, where they excelled together. This camaraderie was underscored when Durant praised Daniels for his impressive rookie season, where he led the Washington Commanders to an NFC Championship game and was named 2024's AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
