One of the most fascinating and most criticized superstars in the NBA is Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns, who is someone who never shies away from speaking his mind, whether it’s about basketball or other things he’s interested in.
Although the past few years have been rough for Durant, as he has bounced around from team to team since winning back-to-back titles with the Golden State Warriors, he could make a lot of noise this season with the Suns looking like a legitimate force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference.
With the Suns off to a 3-1 start and seemingly firing on all cylinders despite a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Durant seems to be in a good place, and in honor of Halloween recently revealed who he believes are the five scariest sports figures of all time.
“Lawrence Taylor, Charles Oakley, Barry Bonds. There’s just something about him when he walks up to the mound. He just looks scary. One of my former teammates, I’m going to go James Johnson. He’s an MMA blackbelt. He’s done it all,” Durant said on “Up & Adams,” via ClutchPoints.
“The last one, I’m going to go a coach. I’m going to go [Bill] Parcells.”

That’s an interesting list, to say the least, especially with host Kay Adams pointing out some athletes she thought he’d say, like Ray Lewis, Mike Tyson or Kobe Bryant.
There’s no way anyone would’ve predicted Durant’s list, as it spans football, baseball and basketball.
