Kevin Durant Net Worth: How Much Will Kevin Durant Be Worth in 2022?

• Kevin Wayne Durant played “Amateur Athletic Union” basketball for a number of teams in the Maryland area when he was a young player. During this time, he met Michael Beasley, Greivis Vásquez, and Ty Lawson, all of whom would play in the NBA in the future.
• He went to the “National Christian Academy” and the “Oak Hill Academy.” Basketball was a big part of his life at both of his schools. Later, he moved to a school called ‘Montrose Christian School’ for his senior year. Six-foot-seven inches tall by this point.
• Later, he went to the University of Texas for more education. In the first year, he won the Oscar Robertson and Adolf F Rupp awards for his great work. In college, he played a lot of basketball, and his skills made him eligible for the “NBA draught” after just one year of playing.
• This is how he started his professional career: He was chosen by the ‘SuperSonics’ in the NBA draught in 2007. When he played his first game against the ‘Denver Nuggets,’ he scored 18 points, had five rebounds, and made three steals.
• The first game-winning shot he ever made was in a match against the “Atlanta Hawks,” which took place on November 16, 2013. His great play earned him the title “NBA Rookie of the Year.”
• He moved his team from Seattle to Oklahoma in the next season. They became the ‘Oklahoma City Thunders.’ He had increased his point total by five points by the end of the year, which was more than he had done the year before. He was also up for the “Most Improved Player Award,” but he came in third.
• He was chosen to play in the 2010 FIBA World Championship. He played very well at the tournament, which helped the USA win the “World Championship” trophy.
• Then, after a few years, Durant was chosen to play in the 2012 Olympics. He not only set a record for points covered in an Olympic basketball tournament, but he also helped his team win a gold medal.
• This time, he played for the national team at the 2016 Olympics. He helped the team win a gold medal for the second time.
• As a co-USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year in 2016, he and Carmelo Anthony were both named the best athlete in the country.
• In July 2016, he signed a two-year deal worth $54 million with the “Golden State Warriors” for $54 million. As it turns out, the public and “NBA” experts didn’t like his move.
• When Durant played for the Warriors for the first time in October 2016, he lost to the ‘San Antonio Spurs’. When the Minnesota Timberwolves came to play him, he came back with a vengeance. He blocked six shots, which was a record for him.
• He also set a record by having five blocks, five assists, ten rebounds, and 25 points in a game all at the same time.
• Durant came back from an injury and played in the Warriors’ third straight NBA final against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors won. As the top scorer for his team, he scored 35.2 points, grabbed 8.4 rebounds, and dished out 5.4 assists each game.
• He also made 55.5% of his free throws and 47.4% of his three-point shots in the championship game. He was named ‘NBA Finals MVP’ because of how well he played. During the next season, the ‘Warriors’ reached the NBA finals against the ‘Cavaliers’ in the Western Conference finals.
• Durant scored 43 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists to help the Warriors win their second straight game. For the second time that season, he was named Finals MVP. Warrior lost many games against Los Angeles Clippers in 2018-19, but they still won a lot of games against them.
• Durant hurt his lower right calf when he played against “Toronto” in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA finals. They lost Game 6 and their chance at a three-peat. He signed a contract with the “Brooklyn Nets” on July 7, 2019, in a deal where both sides agreed to sign and trade for each other.
