Kevin Durant And More Than 3,000 Children Set A World Record In India

Kevin Durant doesn’t care what happens to Kyrie Irving because he’s out in Asia setting world records. The Golden State Warriors star and NBA Finals MVP is currently abroad taking in the sights and sounds. Oh, and he’s putting his name in the Guinness Book of World Records by holding a massive basketball training session in India.

According to the Associated Press, Durant and company set a record when 3,459 children from the Reliance Foundation Junior NBA program joined the superstar for a workout and instructional lesson at the NBA Academy in Delhi, India.

Durant, the MVP of the 2017 NBA Finals, conducted the record-breaking feat at the NBA Academy India, the new basketball training center in the Delhi National Capital Region for the top male and female prospects from throughout the country.

One group of players was with Durant at the academy, while other boys and girls participated via satellite from Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

“Sharing my love of basketball with thousands of boys and girls across India was an unbelievable experience,” Durant said. “It was an honor to coach these amazing kids and to be a part of this special day.”

It looks like Durant’s having a blast in India. Check him out at the Taj Mahal.

The NBA India Twitter account has a ton of cool shots of Durant touring the country, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how they were able to break the record with Durant’s help.

And, of course, Durant brought the Larry O’Brien Trophy with him.

It’s good to be the champ.
