After Durant's senior season, he was named the Washington Post All-Met Basketball Player of the Year and was the Most Valuable Player at the 2006 McDonald's All-American Game. He would then move on the University of Texas for one year before turning pro. His nicknames include "KD", "Durantula" and "Slim Reaper". KD was a member of both the 2012 and 2016 USA Gold Medal Olympic teams. As a member of the Thunder in 2013, he donated $1 million to the Oklahoma Red Cross to help those affected by the May tornadoes. The 6-foot-10 All-Star is a big fan of the Washington Redskins and enjoys crab legs. Fans can follow the two-time NBA Finals MVP on Twitter @KDTrey5 and on Instagram @easymoneysniper.
