As the Houston Rockets prepare to enter the 2025-26 NBA season with a revamped offense centered around superstar Kevin Durant, the team stands poised to do something it has not done in a long time: seriously contend for a championship.
For Durant, moreover, this represents an opportunity to finally cement his legacy, going out in favor with an organization and perhaps even spending the final years of his career with an adoring fanbase.
While, through a mixture of circumstance and his own demands, Durant has been seen with mixed opinions throughout his time in the NBA, he now has the opportunity to prove his loyalty to a singular organization and, in the process, make his greatness known one more time.
