WTLC: Would you say it’s harder or easier working with a scoring champion?

JZ: Uh, it’s both. He’s the hardest worker I’ve ever worked with, so I have to keep up with him, you know?

The story goes on to discuss Durant’s low post game, his strength and diet and Kevin’s work out routine during the NBA lockout. Zormelo even shares some advice for young players looking to be great.
