Kevin Durant is one of the greatest scorers in the game of basketball. The seven-foot offensive force is a three-level scorer. He is a mid-range sniper and can also shoot the three-pointer well. He also hits his free throws at a great level. For someone his size, he also has great handles and can easily blow past people and get to the basket.

Durant was the second overall pick by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2007 NBA Draft. He immediately turned the franchise around. In 2013-14 when Kevin won the NBA league MVP. He has also won four scoring titles with the Thunders. But after nine long successful years with the Thunders, which included an NBA Finals trip in 2012, Durant left them in the summer of 2016 for the Golden State Warriors.
