It then appeared that there was no way Durant would leave the Warriors. Of course, he did. After stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns, Durant is now a member of the Houston Rockets.

At age 37, Durant spoke about where he’d like to finish his NBA career.

“I’m looking to be here as long as I can, play my last years of my career,” Durant said. “That’s the intent. I know I said that about Phoenix, too, but that’s the intent. I would love to do that. I mean, I’m 37 years old and I’m going on 19 years in the league.

“I want to be solidified in a spot and build with a team with a group of guys that’s going to be around for a while. So hopefully this is it.”

Durant will likely finish his career in Houston. Of course, a storybook ending would be to return to Oklahoma City and win an NBA title with the Thunder.
