In a surprising move, NBA superstar Kevin Durant, despite being a known fan of the Washington Commanders, has picked Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott as his MVP choice for the 2024 NFL season. Durant, speaking in an interview with Kay Adams, highlighted Prescott’s impressive regular-season performance, including leading the NFL with 35 touchdown passes in the previous season, as key reasons for his pick. Though Durant has expressed disdain for the Cowboys in the past, he acknowledged Prescott’s skill and consistency, making him a top contender for the MVP award.
Prescott, fresh off signing a massive four-year, $240 million contract extension with $231 million guaranteed, enters the season with high expectations. The deal not only made him the highest-paid player in NFL history but also solidified the Cowboys’ commitment to their quarterback. Prescott finished as the MVP runner-up last season but has faced criticism for his playoff performance, particularly after a wildcard loss to the Green Bay Packers.
With Prescott’s contract secured, the Cowboys are looking to build on their Super Bowl aspirations, particularly after successfully negotiating long-term deals with other key players like wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Despite the playoff struggles, Durant’s surprising endorsement of Prescott as an MVP favorite adds an interesting narrative to the Cowboys’ upcoming season.
