The then Seattle Super Sonics, now Oklahoma City Thunder, drafted Durant 2nd overall in the 2007 NBA draft. He played with the Thunder for nine seasons before becoming a member of the Golden State Warriors in 2016. Currently, Durant is part of the Brooklyn Nets organization. Unfortunately, he is likely to miss the entirety of the 2019-2020 season due to an Achilles injury that occurred during Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals.
Now, here’s why Durant was given this honor:
Durant is a two-time NBA Finals champion. He won back to back titles with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018. Besides being a two-time champ, Durant has a long list of accolades during his career. In his debut season, Durant was Rookie of the Year. He won Most Valuable Player for the 2013-2014 season after averaging 35.9 points per game. Durant was also awarded Finals MVP, twice. He is a ten-time NBA All-star, winning two NBA All Star Game MVP’s.

Despite being one of the best NBA players, Durant is also a businessman. He co-founded an investment firm named “Thirty Five Ventures”. He also partnered with Acorns in 2016, saying, “Supporting up-and-coming generations by tackling tough issues and empowering them with the tools for success has always been a priority in my life.”
