Kevin Durant Admits He Goes Days Without Showering and Says It Keeps Him “Close” to the “Trenches” [Video]

Kevin Durant has always kept it unfiltered, but this time, he turned everyday habits into comedy without even trying.

During a recent appearance on his Houston Rockets teammate Fred VanVleet’s Unguarded podcast, the NBA superstar casually explained why haircuts, lotion, and even strict shower routines do not rank high on his list of concerns. When VanVleet asked why he does not brush his hair, Durant did not hesitate.

“For what? Why get cuts? Why? Why? Why lotion my… Why lotion? I don’t lotion my body like that. I might lotion my hands if they a little dry, but I don’t,” he shared.

VanVleet joked that he sometimes sees Durant with a clean lineup, but KD admitted those moments are purely situational.

“What [makes] me get a cut, for real, is when I’m in my room playing the game and my homies like, ‘Yeah, we got the barber on the way,’” he said. “Like, ‘All right, f**k it. If y’all getting a cut, I go get one, too…’ I ain’t calling them myself.”

Durant said letting go of grooming expectations actually brought peace.

“I really used to care at some point about like, ‘Man, I need to get a cut this week.’ Then after a while, I was like, I’m way more relaxed when I’m just not giving a f**k,” he shared. “So I just stop getting cuts, stop lotioning… I take showers.”

He clarified that part too.

“I shower, I shower, I shower… but I might go a day without, two days,” adding that sometimes he just wants “to go musty for a day or two… I just like to feel close to like, the trenches like that.”

Off the mic, Durant is making history. His move to Houston came via a rare seven-team trade, and he recently became the eighth NBA player ever to pass 31,000 career points. Even at 37, KD stays elite, on the court and completely himself everywhere else.
