Getting to know Durant

Kevin Durant is a professional basketball player who currently plays for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was born in Washington D.C. in 1988 and grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland. Durant became one of the most highly recruited high school players in the country and eventually attended the University of Texas for one year before being drafted second overall by the Seattle SuperSonics (now the Oklahoma City Thunder) in the 2007 NBA Draft.

Durant quickly established himself as one of the NBA's top players, winning the Rookie of the Year Award in 2008 and earning All-NBA honors in each of his first six seasons.
