Kevin Durant is an NBA champion. In his 10th professional season, he has reached the mountain top. After a long and arduous season, Durant is the last man standing.
It took one of the most difficult decisions of his professional career for Durant to get to this point. On July 4, 2016, Durant announced that he would be leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors. It instantly became the most controversial move in NBA history.
Durant’s name was dragged through the mud. His competitive spirit was questioned for leaving a team that was an annual contender for a team that won a championship one season and a record 73 wins the next.
