Kevin Durant has had some wild moments in the media throughout his career; however, his recent interaction with podcaster Bobbi Althoff might be the best one yet.
On Thursday’s episode of the “Not This Again” podcast, Althoff hosted Durant, giving fans a glimpse of the Rockets star’s vulnerable side as he opened up about personal aspects of his life.
### A Hilarious Exchange About Marijuana
During one memorable segment, Althoff recalled an incident where she almost messaged Durant asking for marijuana.
“Do you know I almost DMed you in Switzerland because I wanted weed,” Althoff admitted.
Durant chuckled and recalled the moment she was referring to. He then promised to gift her a pack of weed in the future.
“When you do your third interview with Drake,” Durant said.
“Yeah, I’ll make sure to ask you for weed,” Althoff replied.
“I can’t wait to give you a pack,” Durant responded.
“A pack of what?” Althoff asked.
“Weed,” Durant said.
The conversation ended with a few seconds of silence, highlighting the lighthearted and genuine nature of their chat.
Later in the episode, Althoff asked Durant how often he smoked, but the Rockets star declined to answer, saying it was a personal matter.

### Kevin Durant Opens Up About Depression and Insecurity
Kevin Durant is widely regarded as one of the best offensive players in NBA history—a living legend and future Hall of Famer who inspires many of today’s top players. However, beyond the court persona known as the “Slim Reaper,” Durant is also human, with struggles and vulnerabilities.
During his appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast, Durant revealed that he had experienced depression related to his appearance. At timestamp 1:45 in the episode, Durant shared:
“I have been depressed before, like once.”
Althoff asked, “Why?”
Durant responded, “I was insecure about how I looked, it was crazy… I don’t know. It just hit me all at one time.”
When asked about the timing of this difficult period, Durant revealed he was not in a good mental state about six years ago.
On overcoming his depression, Durant explained that he eventually “snapped out of it” because he felt it wasn’t a worthy issue to dwell on. His insecurities, he noted, stemmed from his height — a trait that has served him exceptionally well in the NBA but made him feel as though he stood out for no reason.
