2) Where was Kevin Durant selected in the 2007 NBA Draft?

The answer is 2nd Overall as Durant was picked by the Seattle Supersonics. Greg Oden was drafted 1st Overall by the Portland Trailblazers. As a result, this might go down as one of the worst draft blunders of all time. The 2007 Draft also featured names like Al Horford, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, and Joakim Noah.

3) True or False. Kevin Durant was named to the NBA All-Star team in his first two NBA seasons.

This is FALSE as Durant wasn’t named to the NBA all-star game until 2010. Durant would subsequently go on to make the all-star game every year from 2010 until 2019.

4) Out of the years listed, which is the only year that Kevin Durant did NOT win the NBA Scoring Title?

The answer is 2013 as Kevin Durant won the NBA Scoring Title in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014. Carmelo Anthony won the Scoring Title in 2013 but Durant finished in second place.

5) What year did Kevin Durant win his first NBA MVP award?

The answer is 2014 after Durant averaged 32 points per game. As of writing this, 2014 is the only year that Durant has won the NBA MVP award in his career.

6) Why did Kevin Durant wear #35?

The answer is because of his AAU coach. Durant began wearing #35 as his jersey number in honor of his AAU coach, Charles Craig, who was murdered at the age of 35. Durant subsequently changed his number to 7 after moving from the Golden State Warriors to the Brooklyn Nets. Still, he honored his old coach for many years of his career and it is clear that he made a big impact on him.

7) Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Miami Heat in the 2012 NBA Finals. What was the final score of that series?

The answer is 4 games to 1. The Thunder had a great run but ran into Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade. As a result, the stacked Thunder team will go down as one of the biggest What If’s in NBA history if they would have stayed together long-term. The Thunder would subsequently never end up getting to the NBA finals with that group again.

8) True or False. Kevin Durant won Gold with Team USA at the 2008 Olympic Games

Some Additional Kevin Durant Facts

Here are some extra tidbits about him that we found interesting couldn’t find any place for on our Kevin Durant quiz.

Before He Was Famous

In an interview, Durant revealed that he was a fan of the Toronto Raptors growing up his favorite player was also Vince Carter.

According to 24/7’s rankings, Durant was the 2nd highest-rated player coming out of high school in 2006. The first was Greg Oden, who would end up getting drafted one spot ahead of Durant in the NBA. I think that we can safely say that the Portland Trail Blazers wish they picked Durant instead of Oden.

Durant was named the Naismith College Player of the Year. As a result, he became the first freshman to ever accomplish that feat. This has subsequently been done by Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson. Still, it goes to show you how dominant Durant was in his only college season.

Durant was briefly represented by Rob Pelinka, who would subsequently go on to become the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Contracts & Career Earnings

According to Forbes, Durant was the 9th highest-paid athlete of the entire decade (2010-2019). He reportedly earned $425 million during this time period, which was behind athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Lebron James, and Tiger Woods. Durant was only the second basketball player on this list behind Lebron.
