Opposing players like Denver's Carmelo Anthony and Cleveland's LeBron James also have given Durant an occasional pep talk. Orlando's Dwight Howard, who shares Durant's agent, Aaron Goodwin, frequently exchanges text messages with him about his own teenage rookie experience. Noting Durant's reed-thin frame, the Magic's hulking center also has offered other help.
"I told him, 'Come to the house in the summer and we'll lift together,' " Howard said. "I think his body will mature over time. Both of us came in real skinny – well, he's a lot skinnier than I was. But I'm sure he's going to get stronger, and it's going to be scary once that happens."
