Kevin Durant is one of the best basketball players ever and is one of the greatest Texas Longhorns ever. Despite his ability, he still has a lot of haters, and hopefully, he can shut them up in the future.
As of right now, Kevin Durant is mostly in the media because he submitted a trade request to the Brooklyn Nets. This announcement is definitely a change from the constant trade speculation. Hopefully, though, Kevin Durant ends up on a franchise where he can win a championship and we’ll have to wait to see where the Nets end up moving him.
