Kevin Durant (206cm, F) is regarded as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. Since averaging 20.3 points as a rookie in 2007–08, he has never dipped below 25 points per game.


A 15-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA member, 4-time scoring champ, Finals MVP twice, and 2014 MVP, Durant remains elite even after major injuries. His consistent scoring and versatile skill set keep him among the league’s top players.


Last season, he averaged 26.6 points, carrying Phoenix despite the Suns missing the postseason. His career scoring average stands at 27.2 points, proving his long-term dominance.


Now traded to the Houston Rockets—his sixth team—Durant thanked Phoenix for their support and positive memories. He also expressed excitement about joining Houston, where his arrival instantly makes the Rockets strong championship contenders.
