7 Mind-Blowing Kevin Durant Facts That Prove He’s the NBA’s Real “Unicorn”
1. Scoring Machine from Another Planet
Kevin Durant isn’t just good at scoring—he makes it look unfair. With a wingspan that could double as a hang glider and the shooting touch of a sniper, he’s one of the most efficient scorers in NBA history. He’s won 4 scoring titles and became the youngest player to win one at just 21!
🥇 2. Two-Time NBA Champion (and Finals MVP)
Durant won back-to-back NBA titles with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018—and grabbed Finals MVP honors both times. He didn’t just join a superteam; he became the engine of it when it mattered most.
🏅 3. Olympic Gold Medal Collector
KD doesn’t stop at NBA dominance. He’s also a 3-time Olympic gold medalist (2012, 2016, 2020) and Team USA’s all-time leading scorer. Basically, when the U.S. needs buckets in international play, they call KD—and he always picks up.
📏 4. 7-Foot Unicorn (That the NBA Still Lists at 6’10”)
For years, KD claimed he was 6’9″, maybe 6’10” if he was feeling generous. Turns out—he’s basically 7 feet tall, with handles like a point guard and range like Steph Curry. A true basketball unicorn. (Now you know why defenders cry.)
🎨 5. Creative Mind Off the Court
Durant co-founded Thirty Five Ventures, a media and investment company involved in tech, entertainment, and sports. He’s produced documentaries (like The Boardroom) and invested in companies like Postmates, Coinbase, and more. KD isn’t just shooting threes—he’s playing 4D business chess.
🎧 6. Loves to Clap Back (and Tweet About It)
KD has one of the most active Twitter accounts in the NBA—and sometimes the most savage. Whether he’s debating basketball takes or dunking on trolls from a burner account, Durant is chronically online in the best way possible.
💪 7. Bounce-Back King
Torn Achilles? No problem. Durant suffered one of the worst injuries in sports in 2019—and returned to the league looking like he never left. In fact, some argue he came back even better. His comeback is one of the most impressive in NBA history.
