With four scoring titles under his belt, Kevin Durant is one of the purest scorers the league has ever seen. However, what some people might not know is the Phoenix Suns superstar has also built a successful business empire off the court. The 2x NBA Champion has a diverse finance portfolio with investments in different sports outside of basketball. With pickleball gaining popularity, it was no surprise that The Slim Reaper wanted to invest in the sport.
In 2022, KD and his business partner, Rich Kleiman, joined the Major League Pickleball as owners of an expansion pickleball team. However, hours after he extended his support to the Brooklyn pickleball team, a video of him showing off his fire dance moves went viral.
Kevin Durant shows off his dance moves
Kevin Durant has often made headlines with his pregame huddle dance moves. The 13x NBA All-Star is one of the most lethal scores and hardly ever misses any shot he puts up. To take his shots to the next level, he does a little dance routine sometimes. However, recently, another video of the 34YO gained traction for his stunning moves on the dance floor. The text in the video reads, “Y’all ain’t ever see KD dance, lol“. In the video, the 6ft 10 forward appeared to be having a good time grooving to the music.

The video was posted just hours after KD posted a story on IG, cheering on his pickleball team. Brooklyn Aces defeated the AZ Drive in the Dreambreaker. The pickleball franchise is backed by a star-studded ownership roster, including the likes of superstar rapper Drake and actor Michael B. Jordan. Durantula congratulated the team on their victory, “Let’s go @bklynaces.”Can the Phoenix Suns win the 2024 NBA Title?
The Phoenix Suns faced a disheartening exit from the playoffs after losing to the eventual champions Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semis. The Suns had a good team in theory, but their lack of chemistry ultimately worked against them. After narrowly missing out on the title in 2021, the Suns are among the teams that do not have a championship ring to show.
Therefore, this offseason, the Suns’ front office made some big moves to build a title-contender team. They let go of their head coach, Monty Williams and replaced him with Frank Vogel, a coach with championship experience. They added 3x All-Star Bradley Beal to the team for veteran point guard Chris Paul. Adding Beal to Durant and Devin Booker’s tandem further solidifies the team’s status as an offensive powerhouse with the ability to score from all directions.
Despite having a lethal offensive trio, the Suns still lack depth in their roster. Do you think the Suns will clinch their first NBA championship with the updated roster this season?
