There are few players who love the game of basketball like Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant .

Thats not the only reason why the future Hall of Famer just played in his 15th All-Star Game.

At this point, hes had thousands hundreds of thousands of hours of practice.

A master of his craft, Durant is now one of eight NBA players to have scored 30,000 career points , With that being said, he also has great genetics.

There are many players with a great work ethic and who are superb scorers, but not many of them are 6-foot-11.

Kevin Durant Teases Jump To EuroLeague Even though Durant is already 36 years old, its possible that hell be in the NBA for a while longer.

In fact, it isnt out of the realm of the imagination that he could still suit up in his 40s.

Nonetheless, when Durant was asked about whether he would consider playing in the EuroLeague after his NBA career, it was still a bit surprising that he didnt rule out the possibility.

I play in the NBA, but I also love watching the EuroLeague, he says (h/t EuroHoops).

Varcelone would be a great place [to play].

Monaco would be nice too.

Kevin Durant doesnt rule out the possibility of playing in the Euroleague in the future.

I play in the NBA, but I also love watching the EuroLeague.

Barcelona would be a great place [to play], Monaco would be nice too.

For now, I love Phoenix.

Im staying.

Durants teaser wont be forgotten by fans stateside or abroad anytime soon.

If he was to take his talents to Barcelona or Monaco, playing for local FC Barcelona or AS Monaco, he would be the biggest player to make the jump overseas.

More people would be watching the EuroLeague than ever.

Whats more, because of how much Durant appreciates the sport that hes dedicated his life to, its possible he really will.

How Long Will He Be With The Suns Durants name has been featured in several trade rumors, much to his dismay.

He doesnt look to be jumping ship.

However, the Suns front office may force him to the plank anyways.

Its actually an unfortunate turn of events for the generational forward.

His previous stops had left him wanting but he long sounded like he really could settle down in the valley.

Its unlikely he would have to go through this if he played in the EuroLeague.

Still, theres a silver lining to being wanted.

Because hes the prize, the franchises wholl have interest in him will want to make him comfortable.

With that in mind, the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves have already attempted to trade for him .

Both teams have a star that he has a good bond with in Mavs guard Kyrie Irving and Timberwolves wing Anthony Edwards .

Those teams also happen to be title contenders.
