The Kevin Durant news last week came as a shock to many sports fans. The former Texas Longhorns basketball standout chose the Big Apple—but it was the Nets—not the Knicks.
Durant played just one year in Austin, but it was a special one. He averaged 25.8 points per game in the 2006-07 season and took the Big 12 Player of the Year.
That Longhorn team made it to just the second round of the NCAA Tournament but the promise KD showed in his one collegiate season made it clear he could one day be a star in the NBA.
