Origin
and identity

The Washington area produced a long, fluid scorer who refused the traditional boundaries of position.

Durant paired wing skills with a centre's reach, scoring efficiently from every level of the floor. His pull-up jumper became one of basketball's least solvable actions.

An MVP award, two championships and sustained international excellence built a career defined by portable, high-volume scoring.
