Steph Curry and Kevin Durant have both built incredible individual legacies, and both are certain to reach the Hall of Fame once they retire. Each has reshaped the modern NBA in distinct ways.

Curry changed the sport with his limitless shooting range, nonstop movement and the way he forces defenses to account for him the moment he crosses half court.

The 37‑year‑old superstar has collected two MVP awards, 12 All-Star selections, 11 All-NBA honors and four championships while becoming the league’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made.

Durant has built a similarly impressive career as a former Rookie of the Year, one-time MVP, 16-time All-Star, 11-time All-NBA selection and four-time scoring champion.

He redefined what a tall, long forward could be offensively, pairing elite shot creation with smooth ball handling and scoring versatility that made him one of the most difficult players to guard in league history. Their influence continues to shape how teams build rosters and design offenses.

Even though they now play on different teams, Curry and Durant still share a history of peak success. During Durant’s time with the Warriors from 2016 to 2019, the two won two NBA championships together and formed one of the most dominant duos of their era.

On Tuesday, Durant took to Instagram to announce a new partnership with CeraVe, a skincare brand, calling himself the "New Face of Legs." He debuted the news with a humorous commercial showing him moisturizing his legs. "Anything I do gotta be official. Even moisturizing. @cerave #CeraVePartner," the caption read.

After watching the video, Curry jumped into the comments with a message for his former teammate. “This guy ,” he wrote. It was a small reminder of the connection they built during their years together in Golden State.

Both superstars have shown remarkable longevity. Now in his 17th NBA season, Curry is averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists while shooting 46.8% from the field and 39.1% from beyond the arc across 39 games.

He is currently sidelined with a right knee injury as the Golden State Warriors try to stay competitive in a crowded Western Conference.

That challenge has grown tougher with the Houston Rockets emerging as one of the top teams, led by Durant, who is putting up elite numbers in his first year with the organization.

Through 48 games, Durant has averaged 25.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists while shooting 51.0% from the field and 40.4% from deep. Even at this stage of their careers, both remain central figures in a league still adapting to the standards they set.
