Follow usKevin Durant has opened a new chapter in his career, joining the Houston Rockets with one clear mission — to win an NBA title in the 2025–26 season.
The two-time Finals MVP shared his philosophy for success, emphasizing that championship teams are built on scoring firepower.
“You have to score baskets if you want to win a championship… Playing defense, we can get any of y’all in here to bend your legs… that’s easy. That’s why I work so much in my game. If you want to win, you got to make shots,” Durant said.
Known as one of the most prolific scorers in basketball history, Durant’s focus on offense aligns perfectly with his strengths. His ability to score from anywhere on the court remains unmatched, and Houston hopes that his elite shooting can elevate them to contender status this season.
However, while Durant’s arrival gives the Rockets a major offensive upgrade, questions remain about the team’s defensive capabilities — a key area they must address to survive the grueling Western Conference against reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
