VIDEO: Durant says he plays as LeBron in video game

Kevin Durant is the reigning NBA MVP, the NBA 2K15 cover boy and is coming off one of the most dominant individual seasons in basketball history.

No one would hold it against him if he was just a little arrogant every now and then, but as we learned during his MVP acceptance speech, Durant likes to deflect his success onto others.

Durant's humble nature even extends to video games and comedy, as he told "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that while he's quite confident in his own NBA 2K15 abilities, he plays the game as LeBron James, because playing as himself would be "kind of arrogant."

Never change, Slim Reaper. Never change.
