 Kevin Durant is arguably one of the best scorers the NBA has ever seen. Given his immense talent, KD is understandably one of the biggest faces in the NBA. Coming back from a gruesome Achilles injury, Durant is back playing some of his best basketball with the Brooklyn Nets. Just like the Dubs, the 32-year-old has an able star cast around him, with superstars like Kyrie Irving and James Harden [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/james-harden/]. With a rather loaded roster, KD and the Nets are one of the biggest favorites to win the NBA championship this season. KEVIN DURANT REVEALS HOW HE FELT WORKING ALONGSIDE DRAKE Being one of the best players in the league has its own perks. For Durant, it’s been the same. From having his own signature shoe [https://www.nike.com/in/w/kevin-durant-shoes-3hmd1zy7ok] with Nike to featuring in multiple songs, KD [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/] has done it all. But one of the biggest music videos Durant made an appearance in was the Drake’s ‘Laugh Now, Cry Later’. The Canadian rapper’s video was an instant hit and had some of the biggest names in sports in Odell Beckham Jr and Marshawn Lynch making appearances in the same. The 32-year-old recently spoke about the video. In an appearance at the Sneaker Game show, Durant revealed how he felt working alongside Drake. “It was a trip. I got the call in like a day’s notice like, ‘you want to do this video with Drake?’ I was like, ‘I mean Drake of course.’ So I flew into Portland that day and like you said was there all night and we were just shooting around while they were filming and it felt like we were you know it wasn’t like a stage thing. “We just hooping playing and they filmed everything, and he started rapping on the sides I was shooting around so it felt it didn’t feel like it felt natural.” “But to see the other sides of you know somebody that huge you know a brand that big to see his side of things see how he operates was uh it was cool to be in his world a bit. They work as extremely hard just like we do.” Drake who is a Raptors fanatic is also a big fan of Durant. With the league’s ever-increasing popularity, it’s only a matter of time before we see another superstar in a music video. 

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant recently opened up about how he felt
working alongside Canadian rapper Drake for a music video.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brooklyn Nets 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Brooklyn Nets are a team based out of New York City that competes in the Atlantic Division as a part of the NBA?s Eastern Conference. Former NBA player Sean Marks currently serves as the general manager of the franchise, while former MSG executive John Abbamondi is the team?s <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/22/nets-hire-john-abbamondi-to-take-over-as-team-president/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">president</a>.?

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the two NBA teams from New York City, with the other being Knicks. However, both teams enjoy a different venue as the Nets play their home games at the Barclays Center, a multi-purpose arena that also hosts NHL and WNBA games.?

Business tycoon and philanthropist Joseph Tsai owns a majority share of the Nets franchise. The Taiwanese-Hong Kong-Canadian billionaire is also the co-founder and executive vice-chairman of Alibaba Group.?

The Nets pulled off a stunning move in 2020 by hiring Hall of Famer Steve Nash as their head coach. Nash replaced his predecessor Kenny Atkinson, who was fired after four years at the job, displaying a record of 118-190 (36.3%).??
<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
The Nets came into existence in 1967, as a part of the American Basketball Association (ABA). During their initial season in the ABA, the Nets were known as the New Jersey Americans, but immediately relocated and changed their name as the New York Nets in 1968.?

Within a span of few years, the NBA and ABA merger happened, and the Nets were one among the four teams that were absorbed by the NBA with the other three being the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Denver Nuggets</a>.?

However, before the merger, the Nets managed to win the ABA championship in 1974 and 1976. Moreover, the franchise returned to New Jersey in 1977 and stayed there until 2012.?

The team hardly found success in the league after being absorbed by the NBA. With meager first-round playoff exits in the 80s, the team lost its shine. The same followed in the 90s as well, as the Nets only managed to make four postseason appearances in ten years.?

The subsequent decade began in grand fashion, as the Nets made back-to-back NBA finals in 2003 and 2003. Powered by the likes of Jason Kidd and defensive stopper Dikembe Mutombo, the Nets showed plenty of promise but ended up losing both finals.?

In 2012, they were once again renamed as the Brooklyn Nets after they began hosting home games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. During the 2019 offseason, the Nets bolstered their attacking options by signing two superstars in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kevin Durant</a> and Kyrie Irving.?

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brooklyn Nets mascot and logo</h2>
Ever since moving to Brooklyn in 2012, the Nets have had a simple logo. The word ?Nets? is written in a bold font and contains a white basketball below, with a big black ?B? written on it. It is surrounded by a shield-like design and the <a href="https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/hsuff5m3dgiv20kovde422r1f/Brooklyn_Nets/2013/Primary_Logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> is finished with ?Brooklyn? written beneath.?

The Brooklyn Nets are one among the four teams that don?t have an official mascot. The franchise did have attractive mascots in the <a href="http://sportmascots.com/nba/brooklyn-nets-mascots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">past</a>, namely, the ?BrooklyNight? and ?Sly the Silver Fox,? but unfortunately, all of them have now retired.?

Furthermore, the primary colors of the Brooklyn Nets uniforms are black, white, and dark gray. The Nets also announced exciting news for its fans, as the team wore a <a href="https://www.nba.com/article/2020/10/14/brooklyn-nets-unveil-classic-edition-uniforms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">classic</a> 1990-91 throwback uniform in the 2020-21 season.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Team Sponsors</h2>
The Brooklyn Nets have partnership ties with a plethora of companies. Most recently, they struck a massive deal with New York-based brokerage platform Webull for a jersey patch sponsorship. The deal is reportedly worth $30 million per year. Besides Webull, the Nets have <a href="https://www.nba.com/nets/corporate-partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">corporate</a> ties with Red Bull, Barclays, Qatar Airways, and several other companies.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is James Harden?</h2>
James Harden has been one of the NBA's most talented offensive players over the last decade. The bearded shooting guard is known for his crafty style, superb ability to create his shot, and excellence at driving to the basket and drawing fouls.
After being selected #3 overall in the 2009 draft out of Arizona State, Harden first made his mark with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He, however, blossomed into a superstar after a 2012 trade to the Houston Rockets, developing creative moves like his signature step-back jump shot. With his scoring touch, he won MVP honors in 2018 and three scoring titles while with the Rockets, solidifying his status among the game's current greats.

<h2 class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="text-align: center">James Harden's early life</h2>
James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, in Los Angeles, California, and spent most of his early life there. James Harden's parents are James Harden Sr. and Monja Willis. Since his father was in and out of prison throughout his childhood, Harden was mostly raised by his mother. He was the youngest of three children and there is a ten-year age gap between him and his next sibling. His elder brother is Akili Roberson, who has played college football. His elder sister, Arnique Jelks, is an interior designer.

Harden was nicknamed Lucky by his mother because Willis had multiple miscarriages before giving birth to him. Raising her children in Compton, Willis encouraged them to pursue sports to stay out of trouble.

The Beard developed a love for the game of basketball when he was very young and started playing the sport passionately. Soon, Harden became one of the most talented high school stars in the state. After graduating from Artesia High School, Lakewood in 2007, he received multiple college offers and committed to Arizona State University. Harden played two years of college basketball where he impressed many and declared for the NBA draft in 2009.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">James Harden's wife and children</h2>
Harden has been in romantic relationships with many high-profile celebrities, like Amber Rose, Khloe Kardashian, Brittany Renner, and Ashanti, among others. Currently, the 2018 NBA MVP is rumored to be in a relationship with model Jessyka Jenshel.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">James Harden's career timeline</h2>
James Harden started playing baseball after his mother Monja Willis encouraged her kids to pursue sports. A young James then turned to basketball and fell in love with the game. He soon developed impressive skills and always believed that he would one day play in the NBA. A few years later, he was a high school superstar and led his team to back-to-back state championships. Harden was also named a McDonald's All-American for his performances.

Harden's basketball coach Scott Pera was a huge reason behind the latter's success in high school. So Harden promised Pera that he would commit to whichever school he joined. After Pera joined Arizona State University as an assistant coach, Harden kept his promise and committed to the school. Harden's ascension continued in college where he caught the eyes of NBA teams. After two years, he declared for the NBA draft in 2009.

The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Harden as the 3rd pick of the draft. The Thunder already had young stars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in their ranks. So Harden had to earn his time and come off the bench. He did not start any game in his rookie season despite playing 76 games. Also, he started only 7 games in his three-year stint with the Thunder. In his third year, Harden won the Sixth-Man of the Year award averaging 16.8 points per game. However, his time at OKC came to an end after the Thunder lost the 2011-12 NBA Finals.

OKC could have had one of the best trios ever. But they were reluctant to give Harden a Max deal, and he was not ready to accept anything less. So the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets, which allowed him to showcase his full potential. In his first season with the Rockets, Harden erupted for 25.9 points per game, which was a massive jump from the previous year. He also made the All-Star Team for the first time in his career in the same season. Harden continued his offensive dominance and was unstoppable at times. In 2018, he was the scoring champion and also clinched the NBA MVP award. He won the scoring title in the next two seasons as well. However, he could not lead the Rockets to the NBA Finals.

After spending nine seasons with the Rockets, Harden played for the Brooklyn Nets for less than two years. He then joined the Philadelphia 76ers in 2021 and has been an integral part of the team since then. Even <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-overconfident-james-harden-emphasises-respect-after-securing-second-straight-dub-for-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">though he is not his MVP self</a> anymore, Harden is still a great playmaker who has averaged over 10 assists per game in the last five seasons. He was also the assists leader for the 2022-23 season.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Kevin Durant?</h2>
Since entering the league as the 2nd overall pick in 2007, Kevin Durant has established himself as one of the most prolific scorers of the game. Standing at 6'10 with guard skills, his ability to get his shot off against any defender changed the dynamics and the prerequisites of the power forward position. He has won an MVP award, 4 scoring titles, with multiple deep playoff runs, and 2 Finals MVPs while winning back-to-back championships with the Warriors. Injuries, however, have plagued the past few seasons since his Achilles tear in 2019.

[caption id="attachment_2467162" align="alignnone" width="4273"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2467162" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-16T040353Z_348935045_MT1USATODAY22114761_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-YORK-KNICKS-AT-PHOENIX-SUNS.jpg" alt="" width="4273" height="2849" /> Dec 15, 2023; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35) makes the pass against the New York Knicks in the first half at Footprint Center.

When healthy, Durant performs at an elite level: a facet of the player that was brought to light in his 2022 playoff run, when he carried the Nets without co-stars Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. Though questions linger about his health, his offensive performances have, nevertheless, secured his legacy.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Kevin Durant's early life</h2>
Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C. The forward spent most of his early life in Prince George's County, Maryland. From a young age, Durant was a very talented basketball star. After graduating from Montrose Christian School, he committed to the University of Texas in Austin in 2006 despite offers from multiple popular programs. After one year of college basketball, KD declared for the NBA draft in 2007. According to reports, he later earned a bachelor's in education with a minor in social work.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Kevin Durant's family and personal life</h2>
Kevin Durant's parents are Wanda Durant and Wayne Pratt. He has three siblings, Brianna, Tony, and Rayvonne. Durant's father abandoned the family when he was an infant and his parents eventually divorced later. The two-time Finals MVP's grandmother helped Wanda in raising him. When KD was 13, Pratt re-entered his life and traveled with him around the country for basketball tournaments.

Durant was once engaged to WNBA star Monica Wright. They started dating in 2013 and were engaged a few months later. However, the engagement was called off, and they reportedly broke up in 2014. He once talked about <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-kevin-durant-once-revealed-why-he-broke-up-with-his-fiancee-i-love-this-girl-but-i-didnt-love-her-the-right-way/" target="_self" rel="noopener">the reason behind the failed relationship</a>.

After this, it was rumored KD dated Cassandra Anderson who is a real estate broker. She was spotted attending his games from the spouses' area during his time with the Warriors. There were multiple social media posts of the two together as well. However, the posts were later deleted. It is unclear whether Durant and Cassandra broke up or whether they are trying to keep it private.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Kevin Durant's Net Worth in 2024</h2>
Kevin Durant has an estimated net worth of around $300 million, according to various reports. Durant currently plays for the Phoenix Suns, after a blockbuster trade from the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/brooklyn-nets/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> in February 2023. He is set to earn $46,407,433 during the 2023-24 NBA season. The two-time NBA champion also earns tens of millions from endorsements thanks to his popularity and success on the hardwood. Furthermore, KD is also an entrepreneur who invests his well-earned money which has helped him build a business empire. In terms of being the highest-paid athlete in the world, Kevin Durant rounds out the 2023 top ten with $89.1 million.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Kevin Durant's career timeline</h2>
Kevin Durant was one of the best college basketball stars in the country while playing for the University of Texas. He led the Longhorns to a 25-10 record and clinch 4th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Despite a great game from Durant, the team was eliminated in the second round. For his impressive performances, KD won the National Player of the Year award along with other prestigious accolades. After one year with Texas, he declared for the NBA draft in 2007.

Even though there were some reservations about his lanky build, Durant was expected to be a lottery pick. The Seattle SuperSonics selected KD as the 2nd pick of the draft. However, many still thought that the 6'10" youngster would struggle to play against the well-built stars in the NBA. But that was far from the reality. Durant hit the ground running and won the Rookie of the Year award averaging 20 points per game.

After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>. The Slim Reaper continued his ascension and dominated his opponents. The Thunder were one of the best young teams with KD, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden in the lineup. Durant led the team to the 2012 NBA Finals but lost the title to LeBron James' Miami Heat.

KD was arguably in his prime during the 2013-14 season and won the NBA MVP award averaging 32 points. However, team success was still hard to come by as the Thunder were knocked out in the Conference Finals. After two more disappointing seasons in Oklahoma, Durant joined the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>. He received major criticism for joining the team that beat the Thunder in the Conference Finals the previous year and also for forming a super team.

Durant instantly helped the Warriors with his skill set and experience. The Dubs won two straight titles and KD won the Finals MVP award on both occasions. The Warriors' hunt for a third straight ring in 2019 came up short in the Finals against the Toronto Raptors as KD struggled with injury throughout the playoffs. After some internal issues within the team, Durant left the Warriors and joined the Brooklyn Nets.

This move was again criticized heavily as Kyrie Irving also joined the Nets the same year. However, because of COVID protocol, Irving missed a lot of games. Then in 2021, Durant's former teammate James Harden also joined the team. But the trio barely played together due to various reasons and Harden left after one year. In the 2022-23 season, the Nets started the season poorly but then went on a great run and looked unstoppable. But things changed after Irving requested a trade and moved to the Dallas Mavericks. Durant later joined the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Phoenix Suns</a> in a blockbuster move to play alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul.

In 2023, Durant announced that he would return to wearing the No. 35 jersey, which he had worn throughout his college and professional career before joining the Nets. The same year, he also finished the regular season shooting over 55% from the field, over 40% from three-point range, and over 90% from the free-throw line, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve those shooting splits in a season. Durant also passed Hakeem Olajuwon in October for 12th on the all-time career scoring list and became the 12th player all-time to reach 27,000 career points.
