Recently, Kevin Durant's relationship status has once again exploded on social media, with American media joking about KD: no girlfriend, no wife, no children, married to basketball, the one and only KD. Fans have also joined in the teasing, saying that KD is the first person in the NBA to marry basketball and have keyboards as children. However, KD doesn't see it that way, even going so far as to say, "Who said I don't have a girlfriend? I have such a girlfriend, do you?" Looking at the text, one might think Durant is announcing a new girlfriend, but upon seeing the picture, it turns out that Durant has built the shape of a girl out of dollars. In fact, despite the media and fans constantly teasing Durant about his love life, Durant has never been idle. More than ten years ago, Durant openly expressed his desire to drink Scarlett Johansson's bathwater, unfortunately, Scarlett responded: I like James. Later, he even said: if you want to contact me, win a championship first. After joining the Golden State Warriors, Durant's status rose, but Scarlett became a thing of the past. He began to transform into a passionate fan of young models, and opening Durant's social media likes page is like opening up a whole new world. After the pandemic, as Durant gets older, he starts to let loose more and more. The internet is often filled with photos of Durant appearing in bars with various internet celebrities and young models. Durant has not only shown off his wealth on personal social…

This season, the performance of the Phoenix Suns has been quite surprising. In theory, the combination of stars like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal should have caused a stir, especially after Durant joined, everyone thought the Suns could at least make it into the top five in the West. But what happened? The Suns are currently not even in the top five in the West, and their playoff qualification is not stable. What's going on? The combination of Durant and Booker seems to have failed to produce the expected chemistry. Everyone knows that Durant is a formidable player, but which path did he take? It seems that after winning the championship with the Warriors, he started to focus on the concept of "brotherhood basketball," paying more attention to relationships with teammates on the court rather than individual performance. There were rumors recently that Durant might consider retiring while playing for the Suns, which was quite surprising. After this news came out, many fans were stunned, thinking it was unlikely. However, Durant does seem a bit lost, as his partnership with Booker has never quite lived up to expectations. The Suns' injury problems are also a headache. Both Durant and Booker have been injured, which has had a significant impact on the team's overall efficiency. Especially Durant, whose injury history is somewhat long, although his form is still good, he is not as impressive as before. Moreover, the Suns' inside-outside cooperation always falls short, making the whole team look scattered, and the coaching staff's management is also being questioned.…

Kevin Durant has once again become the focus of the NBA offseason. The Phoenix Suns have offered him a two-year, $120 million top-tier contract, including the rare inclusion of a trade veto clause, demonstrating their immense sincerity. However, the Los Angeles Clippers are not to be outdone, with their offer of a max salary plus special treatment making the competition even more unpredictable. How will Durant make his decision? Durant's battle for the top salary sees the Suns going all out, while the Clippers refuse to back down. This time, the Suns have put a $120 million contract on the table, along with a "tyrannical clause"! What is a tyrannical clause? It means that as long as Durant agrees and signs, the Suns won't even have the right to trade him; no one can persuade them otherwise! This is true love! But the Clippers aren't to be underestimated either, with owner Steve Ballmer directly stating: "Come to me, and I'll give you a max contract, teach you business, and help you earn more money than you could ever make playing basketball!" This isn't just about recruiting; it's an outright grab! Durant now has a tough decision to make, torn between the Suns and the Clippers.

It is clear that the Suns will make changes before the trade deadline, aiming to reduce their payroll and regain their future first-round draft pick. This summer, the Rockets acquired the right to swap first-round picks with the Suns in 2025, as well as unprotected first-round picks in 2027 and 2029 from the Nets. The Rockets' goal is very clear: they hope to acquire Suns forward Kevin Durant. Currently, the Rockets are temporarily ranked third in the West. This season, the Rockets have repeatedly faced reversals by opponents in the fourth quarter, which is largely due to the lack of a star player on the team. Although names like Butler and Fox have appeared in the trade market, the Rockets' management and coaching staff have higher expectations for Durant. Moreover, the Rockets' management has maintained sufficient patience in trading for Durant. American media outlet BR has also made predictions, suggesting that the Rockets, Suns,…

Although he did not win the Finals MVP, there is no denying that he remains the absolute core of the current Celtics. Durant Durant was still with the Thunder at the age of 26, and at that time, he had already been called the "Big and Small Kings" of the league alongside James. In his first eight seasons, Durant averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.3% and a three-point percentage of 41.3%. In terms…

NBA is the world's highest-level basketball competition, gathering more than 400 of the world's best basketball players. However, some players are called superstars or even superstars because of their excellent ball skills, leadership abilities, and brilliant personal honors.

So, let's take a look at who is on Magic's list. Superstars: James, Durant, Curry At this summer's Paris Olympics, James, Durant, and Curry once again proved that they are still the best basketball players on the planet, perfectly interpreting what it means to be "old but strong." In fact, James, Durant, and Curry have also been at the top of the NBA pyramid over the past decade. James' resume speaks for itself; just the achievement of 4+4+4+historical scoring champion is enough to put him into the discussion of GOAT, and it's not too much to say he's the modern-day Jordan. Curry, on the other hand, is the pioneer of the small-ball era. He opened the door to the small-ball era with his incredible three-point shots and won four championship trophies for the Warriors, with an influence in basketball history that no one can match. Durant, although a controversial player, has undeniable strength. As a groundbreaking scorer, Durant combines the physique of a center with the skills of a guard, giving him an advantage in offense where he can take what he wants, forming mismatches against anyone, and winning…
