Kevin Durant
He was the 2007 Naismith Collegiate Player of the Year; He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2008
Durant's journey to NBA stardom began in high school, where he was one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. After a standout freshman season at the University of Texas, where he became the first freshman to win the Naismith College Player of the Year Award, Durant declared for the 2007 NBA Draft. Selected second overall by the Seattle SuperSonics, Durant quickly established himself as a force in the league. When the franchise relocated and became the Oklahoma City Thunder, Durant led the team to the NBA Finals in 2012. His time with the Thunder cemented his reputation as one of the league's premier players, but it was his move to the Golden State Warriors in 2016 that brought him his first two NBA championships.
Durant's international career is equally impressive. As a member of the U.S. men's national basketball team, he has won four Olympic gold medals (2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024), making him the first male athlete to achieve this feat in a team sport. Durant is also the all-time leading scorer for Team USA in Olympic competition. In addition to his Olympic success, he won a gold medal at the 2010 FIBA World Championship. Durant's ability to perform on the global stage has made him one of the most decorated players in international basketball history, further enhancing his legacy as a global ambassador for the sport.
Off the court, Durant has become one of the highest-earning athletes in the world, thanks to lucrative endorsement deals with major brands like Nike and Foot Locker. His influence extends beyond basketball, as he has been recognized for his philanthropy and contributions to the community. In 2018, Durant was named one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world, a reflection of his impact both on and off the court. He has also contributed to The Players' Tribune as a writer and photographer, showcasing his interests outside of basketball. Durant's combination of athletic excellence and off-court endeavors has made him a global icon in the world of sports.
