And he led the team to a 3-0 lead with 43 points in a comeback victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durant has been a pivotal piece to the Warriors\u2019 <strong>success<\/strong> over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stepping in last year and helping Golden State win a title and being a huge factor in the Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durant is an essential piece in the Warriors\u2019 lineup, though he took a $10 million dollar pay cut ahead of this season in order to keep the championship-winning team together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KD proves there really is no &#8220;I&#8221; in team, or $.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Durant is a quiet, yet explosive player&#8230; One of my favorite types of athletes&#8230; A player who lets his skill speak rather than himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warriors_coach_Steve_Kerr_commented_on_KDs_pay_cut\"><\/span>Warriors coach, Steve Kerr, commented on KD\u2019s pay cut:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;I told it reminded me a little bit of Tim Duncan and his time with the Spurs&#8230; Tim knew it was dramatically helping his own career and KD understands the same thing.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unselfishness Durant has shown with willingly taking a thick pay cut speaks greatly of his character. It allowed the Warriors to keep a few players, like Iguodala and Livingston, and remain the championship-winning team they were last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Championship teams are made up of various players; <strong>respectful, selfless<\/strong> players, each contributing in their role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many other championship athletes, such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade, KD puts his team first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though he scored 43 points in Wednesday night\u2019s game to clinch a 3-0 series lead in the Finals against the Cavs, Durant understands that his team as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How could he score 43 if he didn\u2019t receive a pass from a teammate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basketball, like other sports is a team sport. Though there may be a superstar or a standout, it takes a team of people with a common <strong>goal<\/strong> and mission to be <strong>successful<\/strong> and win championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KD is competitive, he\u2019s a <strong>gamer,<\/strong> and he knows he needs a team who feels the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Curry, Green, Thompson, and others on the Warriors squad, he has that and did whatever he needed to do to keep the winning team intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a team player and understanding there is no &#8220;I&#8221; in team can be difficult for some athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help facilitate <strong>unity<\/strong> with your team, <strong>support<\/strong> and <strong>encourage<\/strong> your teammates, understand and accept your role on the team, be <strong>respectful<\/strong> to your teammates and coach, and always put forth 100% effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KD took a $10 million pay cut&#8230; What can you do for your team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-979ef383-5bc7-43ee-b8f9-249663ca1a6c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Sports_Psychology_Articles\"><\/span>Related Sports Psychology Articles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-05642731-8752-4dbf-9c18-5cc4d276e821\" class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/do-you-or-your-team-have-the-comeback-mindset\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/when-your-team-loses-its-best-player\/\"><strong>When Your Team Loses Its Best Player<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-grow-competition-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-to-build-team-confidence\/\"><strong>How to Build Team Confidence<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/how-preparation-boosts-confidence\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/importance-of-team-communication\/\"><strong>Importance of Team Communication<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-5726d13f-f715-4ca4-8813-2f8a9ebd8bc3\">*Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sports-psychology-podcast-by-peaksports-com\/id152566009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on iTunes<br>*Subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0ynyaalKxbnNmsoeL8gF5X?si=8224669de9b3435b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Sports Psychology Podcast<\/strong><\/a> on Spotify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-281f5afb-980b-4c71-9aa0-11d606b5f7c9\"><strong>Download a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/mental-toughness-report-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free sports psychology report<\/a>&nbsp;to improve your mental game!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\" id=\"block-94138e75-d591-4645-bb1d-212cf57a8841\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sport-psychology-training-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about our one-on-one mental game coaching.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Confident_Athlete\"><\/span>The Confident Athlete <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/sports-psychology-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/confident-athlete-audio250.jpg\" alt=\"The Confident Athlete Audio\" class=\"wp-image-16347\" style=\"width:198px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Confident Athlete\u201d consists of 2 audio programs that include 14 days of confidence fueling exercises and a simple to follow workbook that guides you through the 14 days, helps you apply the strategies, and customizes the exercises to your personal needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me help you put a <strong>stop to the confidence leak<\/strong>.
