How Long Has Kevin Durant Been in the NBA?
Kevin Durant was drafted in 2007 by the Seattle Supersonics and is currently in his 18th NBA season. The Houston Rockets sit near the top of the Western Conference standings, though they suffered a tough loss to the Spurs on NBA on NBC's Sunday Night Basketball.
Durant is one of just two current players who actually suited up for the Sonics before the team moved to Oklahoma City in 2008; the other is Jeff "Uncle Jeff" Green. He was the second overall pick in 2007 and spent his rookie season with Seattle before the relocation.
Across 18 seasons, Durant has played for five franchises and six different teams. He moved with the Sonics to Oklahoma City, where he and Russell Westbrook formed a long-running partnership but never won a championship together. In 2016, Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors and, alongside Steph Curry, helped the Warriors win back-to-back NBA championships in 2017 and 2018.
