Updated 2026-11-10Career background
Durant came from Texas and was Seattle’s second pick in 2007, becoming a central scorer after the franchise moved to Oklahoma City. His later career passed through Golden State, Brooklyn and Phoenix before Houston in 2025–26. The 2014 MVP award and championships with Finals MVP honors in 2017 and 2018 are major landmarks in that scoring career.
In 2013–14, he played 81 games and averaged 32.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists. This Oklahoma City season combined high-volume scoring with rebounding and passing in the MVP phase of his career. From Seattle rookie to a veteran with championship experience across teams, the defining thread is sustained primary scoring responsibility.
