Durant joined the Warriors in 2016 from the OKC Thunder, signing a two-year deal with a player option for the second year, worth about $54.3 million. He led them to a title in 2017 and was named Finals MVP, repeating the feat the following season.

The two-time champion joined a Warriors team packed with firepower. The trio of Durant, Curry and Klay Thompson created one of the best shooting and scoring backcourts in league history, as in the three seasons spent, the team posted a regular-season record of 125-39 and a postseason record of 32-6.

Regardless, the team was still built around Steph Curry. Durant eventually left in 2019 as he needed a new challenge. He later admitted that although he felt accepted in Golden State, he still felt different from the Warriors’ core guys.

He averaged 25.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game with the Warriors. His journey has seen him suit up for the Brooklyn Nets (2019-2023), the Phoenix Suns (2023-2025) and currently with the Houston Rockets.

Rodman is termed the best rebounding forward in league history. However, his career would be overshadowed by his antics on and off the court and by being in the shadow of Bulls legend Michael Jordan.
