Kevin Durant may be 37, but he’s showing no signs of slowing down-on or off the court. Now suiting up for the Houston Rockets, the future Hall of Famer continues to add to an already legendary résumé, recently passing Dirk Nowitzki on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.
That’s no small feat. And while his numbers remain elite-he’s averaging 26.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game-it’s clear Durant’s impact is stretching far beyond the hardwood.
Let’s start with the shoes. Durant’s long-standing partnership with Nike is still going strong, and his KD line remains one of the most consistent in the game.
The KD18 is still dropping in fresh colorways, but he’s already looking ahead to the next chapter: the KD19. Set to release this summer at a price point of $155, the KD19 is more than just another signature sneaker-it’s a statement.
Durant is teaming up with none other than Drake for this release, blending basketball and hip-hop culture in a way that feels both authentic and ambitious.
But Durant’s vision doesn’t stop at footwear. He’s thinking bigger.
“I wanna be able to sign players, at some point under the KD brand,” he said. “And I wanna have a bigger imprint at the University of Texas.”
That’s a clear signal that Durant’s not just building a brand-he’s building a legacy. He wants to mentor the next generation, to create a platform that empowers young athletes, and to give back to the school that helped launch his career.
It’s the kind of long-term thinking you expect from someone who’s spent nearly two decades at the top of the game.
Back in Houston, Durant seems genuinely at peace. That’s not something we’ve always been able to say throughout his career.
From high-profile exits to public feuds, the road hasn’t always been smooth. But now?
He sounds like a player who’s found the right fit. “I’m just enjoying waking up every morning,” Durant said.
“We got a great coaching staff. Great training staff.
They keep me ready. They keep me engaged, mentally, physically.”
That mindset is showing up in his play. He dropped 32 points in 41 minutes in a recent game, and more importantly, he looks energized.
Not just physically, but emotionally. That matters-especially for a veteran who’s already accomplished so much.
The Rockets have given him a new canvas, and Durant is painting with confidence and clarity.
So where does KD go from here? That’s the million-dollar question.
But one thing’s for sure: he’s not coasting to the finish line. Whether he’s climbing the scoring charts, launching signature shoes with global artists, or laying the groundwork for a player-first brand, Durant is still evolving.
And as he continues to redefine what longevity looks like in the NBA, fans will be watching closely-because when Kevin Durant is locked in, anything feels possible.
