Durant is on the cover of the video game and discussed his skill level with Fallon, who says he beat Tiger Woods in his own video game and Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye.
That led Fallon to ask Durant whether he plays as himself in the video game.
“No, that’s kind of arrogant,” Durant said.
So Fallon decided to dive into this a little bit further and asked who Durant played with instead.
“Anybody,” Durant responded.
Fallon dug a little deeper and finally Durant admitted he played as LeBron James. Can you blame him though? He has to be the best character in the game.
Thought if Durant was as good as he says he is at the video game, he wouldn’t play with the best player in the game.
