A 15-time NBA All-Star and NBA 75th Anniversary Team member, Durant has amassed an impressive array of accolades, including two NBA championships, an NBA Most Valuable Player Award, two NBA Finals MVPs, and four NBA scoring titles.
After being drafted second overall by the Seattle SuperSonics in 2007, he led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a Finals appearance before winning back-to-back titles with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018, later playing for the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns. Demonstrating exceptional international prowess, KD has secured an unprecedented four Olympic gold medals (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024) with the U.S. national team, becoming the first male athlete to achieve this feat in a team sport and the leading scorer in Team USA's Olympic basketball history. He is notably the only player with MVP awards in the NBA, Olympics, and World Cup. Beyond his on-court dominance, Durant is a high-earning athlete known for his philanthropy, with his jersey number #35 honoring his late AAU coach.
