Which team does Kevin Durant play for?

Kevin Durant is one of the most prolific scorers to play the game of basketball. At 6 feet 11 inches, KD can score at all 3-levels. Offensively, Durant is flawless. He can drive to the hole and make tough finishes inside, he can pull up from 40 feet and is one of the most lethal mid-range shooters in the NBA. Another talent of Durant is how he can join any organization and fit right into the system. He is one of the best plug-and-play players in the league. Every team he has played for, Durant has only elevated the level of success the team has.

Being part of the NBA’s 75th-anniversary team, KD has already cemented his status as an all-time great. However, he is still hunting for another championship, especially since the narrative is that he has not proven that he can win by himself. During his three-year stint with the Golden State Warriors, Durant was arguably the best player in the world. The Warriors were almost unfair to go against. If Durant was covered or double-teamed, Curry or Thompson would be wide open and vice versa. He won two consecutive championships in Golden State and could have won three, if not for his Achilles injury.

After Durant went down in Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Finals, all the fans and analysts expected him to not return as the same dominating player he once was. This is because most player’s production drastically goes down after an Achilles injury. To everybody’s surprise, Durant came back even better and his efficiency from the field was outstanding. Let us look at all the different teams Kevin Durant has been a part of today.
