Kevin Durant BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Kevin Durant has been just about everywhere in the past few days making headlines both on and off the hardwood. On Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs he dropped 24 points with a vintage shotmaking clinic that got Rockets fans buzzing. Postgame he told local Houston media that while the numbers looked good he needs to do better keeping control of the ball after committing several turnovers a sign that despite his Hall of Fame résumé he's locked in on the details and still not satisfied says Rocket Fuel Houston. The big basketball world also took notice because Durant is now officially one of the only three active NBA players with over $1 billion in combined salary and endorsement earnings according to both Sportico and Boardroom joining LeBron James and Steph Curry in what is now one of the sport’s most exclusive clubs. That financial milestone is huge and signals his legacy as more than just a basketball savant but also as a brand builder and business mogul. BeIN Sports drives home that Durant's endorsement empire led by Nike and Fanatics together with his current salary have even pushed him past LeBron for the highest career on-court earnings ever.
The buzz isn’t only about his performance and business standing. Durant set social media abuzz this week sporting a pair of Skunk Dunk-inspired KD 18s during a win in Memphis—an homage to his well-documented affection for cannabis culture according to Sole Retriever. Durant’s not shy about mixing personality into his signature shoes and the "Slim Reefer" look had sneakerheads wondering if a public release was coming while fans relished the stoner tribute vibes.
On the social front Durant sparked one of the wildest viral moments of the week by taunting Ja Morant’s father Tee courtside during the Rockets-Grizzlies game in Memphis a scene reported by Last Word on Sports that only inflamed the ongoing Memphis drama and gave fans all kinds of meme fodder. The off-court Durant surfaced too as he shared a rare family story in an interview with Bobbi Althoff telling how his nephew apparently prefers Devin Booker as his favorite player even though Uncle Kevin is an all-timer—a heartwarming claim covered by the Times of India that offered fans a glimpse behind the public persona.
Away from the NBA grind Durant’s business reach keeps growing as Boardroom and Heavy both highlight his continued investment and media activity via Thirty Five Ventures which keeps him on the business news radar. Meanwhile a photo-op with Spurs legend George Gervin before the Friday game made social rounds with fans loving the mutual respect according to MySanAntonio.
And if you’re wondering about Durant’s love life don’t. TheGrio recently ran a story where he explained why marriage isn’t on his list of priorities as he doubles down on career philanthropy and business. In sum this was a week where Kevin Durant’s stat lines were just the start—his billionaire status his viral moments and his offbeat style made him bigger than ever both as a player and a personality.
