Kevin Durant entered the league as a 19-year-old kid and hit the ground running right from the start. He was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) with the 2nd pick in the draft. Despite being unable to deliver a Championship to the city, Durant’s stay at OKC was phenomenal.
The Slim Reaper won four scoring titles and an MVP award during his stay with OKC. Durant was one of the most loved players in the NBA until he decided to join the Golden State Warriors. That decision changed his career and made him a multi-time NBA champion.

You can love him or hate him, but you can’t deny the fact that he led the Warriors to 2 titles while bagging two final MVPs as a GSW player. Moreover, if Durant was healthy while heading to the 2019 NBA Finals, the Warriors might have added another ring to their name.
Kevin left the Warriors and took his talents to Brooklyn in the 2019 free agency. But due to his injury, he missed the entire season. Next season, the league will witness a healthy Durant and Irving duo. That could shift the balance of power in the league.
Kevin Durant and his views on social media
Recently, KD appeared on the Corp Podcast where he opened up about several aspects of his life on and off the court. During the conversation, KD revealed that he still uses his Twitter burner account.
“I still have burners that I use for sure. I have a burner Twitter account still…When I deleted it I was like, ‘These people really made me delete what I enjoy, which is my burner account.’ So I got another one,” said Durant.
“I think I am at my peak on Twitter, a lot of my followers enjoy my content. I look at it as if you send me a DM, I must have triggered you somehow,” added the former MVP.
Durant has completely embraced the criticism he receives on social media. With that aspect out of the way, winning a championship with the Nets will have KD’s complete attention. However, rupturing an Achilles tendon can have a massive effect on a player.
Will Kevin Durant return at his 100%? We will have our answer in the 2020-2021 NBA season.
