In this Sunday, May 14, 2017, photo, Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant warms up before Game 1 of the NBA basketball Western Conference finals between the Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs in Oakland, Calif. Imagine Kevin Durant as a skinny, timid teen being told to shoot by his middle school point guard who saw so much potential all those years ago. San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman,the superior player at the time, used to tell tall-and-lanky Durant to be aggressive, to take it to the hoop. "Can you believe we had to tell him to shoot?" Bowman recalled with a grin. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)
