Durant's storybook NBA career commenced with the Seattle Supersonics in 2007 with the power forward/shooting guard immediately making his mark by averaging over 20 points per game.

He would play only a single season in Seattle, moving on to the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise where he would place his indelible stamp on the game, winning an NBA MVP award in the 2013/'14 campaign when he led the league in scoring with an incredible 32.0 points per game figure (his highest single season average and one of four times he led the NBA in scoring). The eleven-time All-Star would ultimately win two NBA Championships with the Golden State Warriors, both times capturing the exalted NBA Finals MVPs, and currently holds a remarkable 27.1 lifetime scoring average over 14 seasons. Truly one of the NBA's greatest all-time players, his pristine PSA 10 2007 Topps Chrome White Refractor rookie card offering has earned its "perfect" assessment via its pack-fresh attributes, starting with an imposing Durant "shooting" image revealing his Supersonics #35 green/yellow rookie uniform. Near-perfect centering, blistering sharp corner tips, immaculate surfaces, and sparkling hues all combine to support the "spot-on" grade, with this extremely significant Durant offering worthy of a final resting place alongside other NBA star cards including the likes of Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic, just to mention a few!
