Kevin Durant experienced his fair share of adversity this season. He withdrew from Team USA last summer in order to be completely healthy for the regular season, only to suffer a Jones fracture in his foot and multiple setbacks throughout the season. One fan asked KD about this cruel bit of irony on Twitter. Durant did not rip the fan apart, nor he did he belittle him. Instead, he channeled his inner Forrest Gump.
Shit happens RT @IsaacGregoire_: @KDTrey5 dropped out of usa to prevent injury for current season, got injured anyway, thoughts?

We all respond to adversity in different ways. Some of us lash out in anger, while others seethe silently. There are those that resort to questioning, wondering what they had done to deserve their hardship, and those that sink into a deep depression. “Shit happens” probably doesn’t begin to explain the frustration Durant feels, but it’s a pretty good mindset to have when dealing with the many obstacles thrown in his path this year.
