Kevin Durant is a 14-time NBA All-Star, 2x champion, 4x Olympic gold medalist, and one of the greatest scorers in basketball history. Standing 6'11" with guard-like skills, he redefined the power forward position. Off the court, he co-founded 35 Ventures with manager Rich Kleiman, building a 100+ company investment portfolio spanning AI, fintech, media, and sports. One of only three NBA players to hold a lifetime Nike deal, Durant is as formidable a business operator as he is a basketball player.
