Durant was seen being tailed by a camera crew in locations though that’s not exactly out of the norm for the reigning NBA MVP, though it appears as if Kevin Durant was filming a documentary for HBO.

"The unscripted special is a first – person account of the life of the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar forward , from the moment his NBA basketball season ended on May 31 , until he reported to training camp for the upcoming season in late September. The con cept for the film was created by Durant , Patricof and Rich Kleiman, Durant’s Roc Nation agent. THE OFFSEASON: KEVIN DURANT is directed by Brendan and Emmett Malloy"

HBO is of course no stranger to producing award-winning sporting related content as the network is home to popular programs like ‘Hard Knocks’ and ‘The Franchise’ in addition to boxing.

According to HBO, cameras followed Durant through the end of a grinding NBA season and into the transition of the offseason, so it should be a very interesting watch.

Kevin Durant, meanwhile, seemed to have a wonderful time filming the project.

“Working with HBO on this project was an exciting opportunity, and I want to thank the film crews, producers, directors and everyone involved,” says Durant. “ The project allowed me to show my fans the work that is put in on and away from the court when the cameras are off us. With THE OFFSEASON now in the wraps, I look for ward to taking all the work that people will see happens in the summer months to the court in the regular season with my teammates and the Thunder. ”

THE OFFSEASON: KEVIN DURANT is scheduled to debut on November the 4th.
