In-N-Out or Whataburger? Kevin Durant answers important questions
The Houston Rockets passed the Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference standings after their 110-105 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, and Kevin Durant had an important question he had to answer after the game, via ESPN’s SportsCenter.
After the Rockets’ win, Kevin Durant was asked the question that has been the subject of much debate over the past few years, which fast food chain is better, In-N-Out or Whataburger. Durant immediately went with the Texas-based chain, a preference that dates back to his lone season in college.
“When I got to Texas 20 years ago at the University of Texas at Austin, Whataburger was the first thing I had, so it’s ingrained in my brain,” Durant said.
While there will certainly be debate about Durant’s hamburger preferences, what isn’t up for debate is his place in NBA history, something he reminded people of lately. Against the Wolves, he finished with 39 points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block.
last week, Durant surpassed Wilt Chamberlain on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. He will pass Dirk Nowitzki for 6th on the list in the next game or two, and by the end of the season, he could even pass Michael Jordan for 5th.
Durant is in his first season with the Rockets after being acquired in a massive trade with multiple teams in the offseason. He appeared in 37 games this season with just over 36 minutes per game. He averaged 26.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 blocks on 51.6 percent shooting from the field, 40.4 percent from the 3-point line and 88.7 percent from the free throw line.
