Kevin Durant makes history with All-NBA selection

Houston Rockets superstar Kevin Durant was named to the All-NBA's second team on Sunday night, helping him to accomplish something that has never been done in the history of the NBA.

Durant makes All-NBA with fifth different franchise

With his selection this season, which is his first season with the Rockets, Durant has now made the All-NBA team with five different franchises, making him the first player in the history of the league to ever accomplish that feat.

Before this season, Durant had also made All-NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns.

He joined the Rockets this past offseason as part of a massive seven-team trade.

In 78 games during the regular season, Durant averaged 26.0 points, 4.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Still playing at that level at age 37, and making All-NBA no matter which team he has played for, is a testament not only to his overall brilliance on the floor but also his consistency.

He has been first-team six times in his career (five times with the Thunder and once with the Warriors) and second-team with the Warriors, Nets, Suns and now Rockets.

He is one of the best players of his era and all-time, and being on any sort of list of accomplishments by yourself is a massive addition to any player's legacy.
