Kevin Durant Gets Cade Cunningham to Open Up About His NBA Journey & New Nike Signature Sneaker
Kevin Durant sits down with Cade Cunningham in this exclusive Boardroom Cover Story that reflects on the Detroit Pistons star’s NBA journey — from growing up in Arlington, Texas, and being shaped by his older brother to making the move to Montverde Academy, where he learned discipline and accountability. He also discusses his decision to attend Oklahoma State to play for his brother, emphasizing the trust and family foundation that guided his choices. Now with the Pistons, Cade opens up about the ups and downs of leadership at a young age, balancing patience with urgency, and maintaining belief through team struggles. He also talks about fatherhood, how becoming a dad changed his perspective on life and competition, and how he’s evolved both on and off the court. The conversation between Cade and KD weaves between memories of early basketball influences, lessons in work ethic, and his vision for leading Detroit back to relevance.

THE TWO GOATS
Don’t try to compare no damn Cleveland to Detroit, KD.
Congrats on new nike deal and getting your own shoe soon Cade
Awesome 🎉
where’s jalen green?
Damn. I would’ve never guessed that KD would be this good at interviewing. He definitely needs to keep doing this now and after his career is over.
This was super cool … Shoutout to MotorCade representing for the Detroit Basketball Pistons !!!!
🪖💪🏿👊🏿⚖
Goddamn it I'm glad he's ours.
Detroit loves Cade 💙
Cade is a student of the game. He will create a fine legacy in Detroit
2nd best player in the east: Cade CunningMAN
"And the Pistons are champions again!"
When Detroit Pistons get a True Point Guard & Also A Backup Center We will be on our way Barring Injuries and other Unforseen Setbacks…….
⚔️CADE THE CONQUEROR⚔️
been a pistons fan my whole life and at 25 im finally excited for a season and nobody is looking at me crazy for it
Very promising that Cade is a fan of Brandon Roy's game
Look at Cade man, so Inspirational.
Cade ICEWOOOOOD DA MF 🐐
This is crazy man KD was really dropping 25 ppg in the NCAA…… greatest college 1&Done ever.
Salute for getting Cade up to give him his flowers and share his story. Cade in my top 5 active after that Knicks series and Ima lifetime sixer fan lol
KD is an excellent interviewer here. Feels like a convo more than Q&A. I had a feeling these two had something brewing after a pre-season matchup between the Pistons and Suns a year ago, but I didn’t think we’d make it here. Good stuff.
Make this a real duo in the NBA on Detroit ASAP. Amen will approve sending KD to his bros team
2 goats. its cool to see two players chopping it up like this, especially 2 players that i fw heavy. and this is gon be fun to look back at when the rockets and pistons meet in the finals one day (hopefully).
S/o to KD! The Franchise up Next
Could have been an hour long
