Houston doesn't need Durant to chase an MVP award, but it does need its superstar healthy and ready to close games when they matter most. As Kevin Durant enters his age-38 season, legendary precedents from LeBron James and Michael Jordan reveal how Houston must balance superstar production with strategic rest to ignite a postseason run.

Kevin Durant made the most controversial free-agency move in NBA history when he left the OKC Thunder for the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

Just before the Longhorns-Buckeyes game started, Kevin Durant decided to have fun and threw some passes on the side of the field.

Former Cleveland Cavaliers wing Iman Shumpert called out Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant for signing with the Golden State Warriors in the summer of 2016. "You the reason I missed out on two rings dog. It was your fault," Shumpert said during an appearance on Gil's Arena.

The Miami Heat could make a move for Kevin Durant later this season if he becomes available via a predicted realistic trade package.

During a recent livestream showcasing some of his unreleased music, Drake called in Kevin Durant for a cameo appearance.

The Warriors and Cavaliers built one of the defining rivalries, meeting in four straight Finals from 2015 through 2018. Even years later, that rivalry still finds a way to resurface.
