On August 10, Beijing time, Durant's mother Wanda Pratt accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN.

When talking about the moment when Durant won the regular season MVP for the first time and paid tribute to his mother, Wanda said: That really changed a lot of things. He understood why I wanted to be a strict mother. I just wanted him to live a good life. As a mother, I felt gratified, but at the same time, that speech also pushed me onto the stage alongside him, which really changed my life.

When talking about her son's current stage of career, Wanda said frankly: Now he doesn't care so much about honors. He has a very kind personality. Although he has many awards and honors, I know that a big reason why he is still playing basketball is because he really loves it. What he wants to do now is to make sure that when he is on the court, he can unite with his teammates and help young people perform better.

In addition, Wanda, together with O'Neal's mother, Ray Allen's mother, Henderson's mother and the mothers of some less well-known players, has been committed to helping and protecting the growth of young mothers. Wanda said: We are a group of women who believe in solidarity among mothers. We need to provide a safe place for young mothers where they can come and talk.
