Durant was the second pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics (now the Thunder).
He spent the first nine seasons of his career with the organization before signing with the Golden State Warriors during the summer of 2016.
Despite being unable to win a title in Oklahoma City, they were consistently among the elite teams in the league.
Durant also won the 2014 MVP Award.
The future Hall of Famer just finished his third season with the Suns.
