Over the next nine seasons, he led the Thunder to the NBA Finals and won the league MVP award in 2014.
In 2016, Durant made a surprising decision to join the Golden State Warriors, forming a superteam that won two championships in his first two seasons. He then spent three years with the Brooklyn Nets, where he was plagued by injuries, before being traded to the Phoenix Suns in 2023. After a brief stint in Phoenix, Durant was once again on the move, this time to the Rockets in a major offseason trade.
As the 2025-26 season approaches, Durant has agreed to a two-year, $90 million contract extension with the Rockets, keeping him in Houston for the foreseeable future. Despite the many twists and turns in his career, the future Hall of Famer remains one of the most dominant and influential players in the NBA.
