Kevin Durant
Durant was widely hailed by the media as the Big 12’s top freshman and a top candidate to be named Freshman of the Year. He averaged 25.8 points per game and 11.1 rebounds per game during his freshman season with the Texas Longhorns. In Big 12 contests he averaged 28.9 points per game and 12.5 rebounds. His collegiate career high was 37 points, which he has achieved on four occasions. Durant had twenty 30-point games his freshman year, including a losing effort against Kansas for the regular season Big 12 title.
In March 2007, Durant was named the NABC Division I Player of the Year, and received the Oscar Robertson trophy and the Adolph F. Rupp award becoming the first freshman to win each of these awards. On March 30, 2007, he was selected as the Associated Press college player of the year, becoming the first freshman and the first Texas athlete to receive this award since its inception in 1961. On April 1, 2007 he became the first freshman to receive the Naismith Award and on April 7, 2007 won the John Wooden Award.
In late February 2007, Durant received an invitation to the Team USA Basketball training camp, becoming the second freshman after Oden to achieve this.
Less than a week after being drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics, The University of Texas announced the retirement of Durant’s #35 jersey. The number will now hang in the rafters at the Frank Edwin Center along with the #11 of former Longhorn great T.J. Ford.
On June 28, 2007 Durant was taken second overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics.
On October 31, 2007, Durant made his NBA debut with 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals in a loss to the Denver Nuggets. On November 16, 2007 Durant made the first game-winning shot of his NBA career with a key 3-pointer to beat the Atlanta Hawks in double overtime. Durant finished with 21 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 3 blocks. In a game against the Denver Nuggets, he flirted with a triple double as he came up with 37 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. In the last game of his rookie season, Durant recorded his first double-double of his career with a career-high 42 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, and also added 5 assists. In addition to leading all rookies in scoring for the season, he was named the NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Month for November, December (2007), January, March, and April (2008).Durant's 20.3 point per game season average broke the SuperSonics' 40-year-old rookie record. Durant was awarded the NBA Rookie of the Year Award for the 2007–08 season.
Following the 2007–08 season, the team relocated to Oklahoma as the Oklahoma City Thunder. On February 13, 2009, Durant led the Sophomore team to a victory over the Rookie side at the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam. He was crowned the MVP for the game after he set the scoring record with 46 points, breaking the old mark. The next day, Durant came from behind to win the first ever H-O-R-S-E Competition in NBA All-Star weekend history. He also won the 2010 H-O-R-S-E contest to win 2 in a row.
For the 2009-10 season, Durant was a main proponent in helping the Thunder with their 50 wins and finishing 8th in the Western conference which was the 6th biggest turnaround in NBA history. During the season, Durant became the player to have the most games in a row with at least 25 points. He averaged 30.1 points per game and got named to the NBA All-Star team for the first time. This would be his first scoring championship that he would receive. Before the next season would start, Durant captured the MVP at the 2010 FIBA World Championships.
The 2010-2011 season would bring in some common awards for Durant. He would reach his second NBA All-Star game, and he would also win the scoring title again for the second year in a row. Durant led the league with 27.7 points per game, leading his team into the post-season for the second time ever in the history of the franchise.

Testimonials
- This camp was amazing. It exceeded our expectations in regards to instruction, fun element, and Durant's participation. We were totally impressed! We are sharing good things about it to all our friends. We can't thank you enough and Kevin for participating and making it such a memorable experience. I know he didn't have to be there as much as he was. Or play the games with the kids like he did. But, that is definitely what makes his camp so amazing. I hope he will continue to do it. It means so much to the kids. THANK YOU!!!!!
