Durant is a 15-time All-Star, former NBA MVP, two-time NBA Finals winner, and four-time scoring champion, who at the age of 36 is still one of the most dynamic scorers in the league.
His presence in the Rockets’ lineup immediately makes them legitimate contenders in the always tough Western Conference, and the move to acquire him could significantly alter the outcome of the 2025-26 NBA season.
Houston finished second in the West last season, despite being one of the younger teams in the league. The addition of the seventh leading scorer in NBA history will only help their case this next time around during the postseason, as very few players in the game have as much experience as Durant.
As one of the most popular players in NBA history, his Houston Rockets jersey is sure to be a massive hit amongst fans, and his Nike Swingman Player Jersey is now available.
