Hip-hop has a long history of unique rivalries. In the nineties, the East Coast vs West Coast beef revealed a disturbing side of the music world. These days we are getting glimpses of a rivalry that is backed by the NBA stars. Kevin Durant?s friendship with Drake goes a long way, yet no one saw this coming. As the NBA world went into a tizzy celebrating KD [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/] and Drake’s new partnership, an OKC rising star pays his respect to Kanye West. Now we know who is with Drake and who is with Ye. FOR ALL THE DOGS This could be the first time that an NBA player gets an ?A&R? status in a rap record. In Drake?s new album, ?For All the Dogs,? Kevin Durant is credited with the title of ?Artist and Repertoire.? KD and Drake have been friends since his OKC days. According to him, Drake is the greatest rapper, and shows his appreciation by bringing in his NBA friends like LeBron [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/], Booker [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/devin-booker/], and Tatum [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jayson-tatum/] to his concerts. Except for the 2019 NBA finals, this duo has had only great times together. In one of Drake’s latest songs, ?8 am in Charlotte,? there are lyrics that the fans believe are directed at Ye. And now Jalen Williams, the rising star of OKC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/], gets a tattoo of the graduation bear to show his support to Kanye. The graduation bear appeared in West’s first two albums. In an Instagram post, a fan has commented that it was ?one of the greatest albums of all time.? Jalen Williams? commitment of being a lifelong Ye fan and for his ?Dropout Bear? is a thing of beauty.

Latest Acquisition [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-go-get-jrue-holiday-giannis-antetokounmpos-ex-teammate-claims-credit-for-jayson-tatum-and-celtics-latest-acquisition/] Ye is against all social norms that try to bottle up human beings. Thus, Kanye’s reaction to Drake’s diss is the only thing the fans are waiting for. SUNS AND THUNDER OKC has a unique blend of young talents, and with the return of Chet Holmgren, they are poised to have an impact. On the other hand, the Phoenix Suns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/] have brought in Bradley Beal to have a legitimate shot at the title. Once again, KD finds himself in a super team that could win it all. While fans would be very patient with the OKC team, this is a ‘championship or bust’ season for the Suns. Watch This Story: ?Lame Time as Usual?: Portland Fans Turn on Damian Lillard Hours Within Bucks Trade After His ?I Could Never Be Replaced? Release [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nba-active-basketball-news-lame-time-as-usual-portland-fans-turn-on-damian-lillard-hours-within-bucks-trade-after-his-i-could-never-be-replaced-release/] If KD?s team delivers for Phoenix, this would add one more feather to his already decorated cap. 

Kevin Durant and Drake send the NBA world in a tizzy with their new partnership, while one young NBA player shows his support for YE.

<h2>Chet Holmgren's Net Worth 2023</h2>
Since bursting into the scene as a college basketball star, Chet Holmgren has been one of the richest youngsters. With a reported net worth of around $3 million in 2023, his numbers are bound to rise alongside his NBA career. He signed a 4-year $44.89 million contract with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> last season. In this campaign alone, he is set to earn around $10.39 million in salaries from the franchise. The 21-year-old is currently under the representation of Carlos Fleming from WME Sports.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's Early Life</h2>
Born in a Minnesota household, he picked up the game of basketball at an early age. Under the influence of his father, Chet developed his game in Minneapolis while attending the Minnehaha Academy. Sharing the court there with fellow NBA star Jalen Suggs, he became a 6'9 sensation in his high school days. His growth became rapid in that period as by the senior year Holmgren was averaging ?21 points and 12.3 rebounds. In that year, he became the most lucrative prospect in the nation as he led his team to their fourth state championship. His endeavors earned him Mr. Basketball USA and Gatorade National Player of the Year, amongst others.

This resulted in about 30 scholarship offers from various college programs around the country. He reportedly became the number-one player in the 2021 class. Chet made up his mind soon after as he joined Gonzaga, following Jalen's pathway. He turned his choice into the right one, with a record-breaking start to his new life. The 7'1 became the first player to register ten points, ten rebounds, five assists, and five blocks in his debut in 25 years. In his one year there, he also earned the title of the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year. In the following year, he decided to enter the draft, marking a new beginning in his journey.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's Family and Personal Life</h2>
Chet's father, Dave Holmgren, was a former college basketball player. He represented Minnesota Golden Gophers in 57 games from 1984 to 1988. The 7'0 parent helped the youngster train from a young age. The son thus followed in the footsteps of his father's basketball journey. He further enhanced and polished his skill sets to become a nationwide star. His mother, Sarah, also played a pivotal part in his development from a young age. Despite keeping his personal life private, according to reports, the OKC star has two sisters.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's <b>NBA career</b></h2>
After announcing his decision to enter the 2022 NBA draft, he became a top prospect. The Thunder wasted no time as they selected him as the second-overall pick. He became the highest-ever draft pick out of both Gonzaga and the state of Minnesota. He featured in the Summer League following this, where he broke the record for most blocks in a single match. His NBA debut, though, soon came to a halt as he suffered from a Lisfranc injury, keeping him out for the entire season. So, he is yet to feature in an NBA game representing the city of Oklahoma.

<h2><b>Devin Booker's Net Worth 2023 (Update)</b></h2>
Devin Booker has an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to reports. In his eight years long career so far, Booker has reportedly amassed over $130 million in NBA salaries alone. After signing a massive contract extension last year, he will receive $33 million for the current season. Other than his salary, Booker makes a lot from his endorsement deals. As per reports, he earns around $8 million per year from endorsements.
<h2><b>Devin Booker?s early life?</b></h2>
Devin Booker was born on October 30, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he spent most of his childhood. Booker followed in the footsteps of his father from a very early age and started playing basketball. After his freshman year at Grandville High School, Booker moved to Mississippi to live with his father. A young Devin enrolled at Moss Point High School where his father joined as an assistant basketball coach. Furthermore, it was his father's alma mater. After an impressive high school career, Booker committed to the University of Kentucky in 2014. He then declared for the 2015 NBA draft after one year of college basketball.
<h2><b>Devin Booker?s family and personal life</b></h2>
Devin Booker is the only child of Veronica Guti?rrez, a cosmetologist and Melvin Booker, a professional basketball player. Melvin played college basketball for the University of Missouri from 1990 to 1994. After a small stint in the NBA, he mostly played overseas basketball. After Melvin returned to the country, Devin moved in with him to be coached by his father. It worked wonders for the young guard as he soon became one of the best high school players in the country.

Devin Booker has been in romantic relationships with celebrities like Jade Ramey, Jordyn Woods, and Kendall Jenner. The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/">Phoenix Suns</a> star and Kendall Jenner started dating in 2020 and broke up in 2022.

The Phoenix Suns selected Booker as the 13th overall pick in the draft. He came off the bench initially but soon sealed the starting spot with his performances. He quickly became one of the best players for the Suns and was 4th in the Rookie of the Year voting that year. Booker continued his upward trajectory in the league and had an 8-point jump in points average in his sophomore season. D-Book then became one of the best young talents in the league with an almost unstoppable mid-range game. In 2020, he made his first All-Star team appearance and has been a mainstay ever since.

Booker can be considered to be one of the most durable and consistent stars in the league. Even though his injury layoffs have hurt the team in the playoffs, Booker has not had any major setbacks so far, playing day in and day out. The shooting guard led the Suns to the 2020-21 NBA Finals for the first time since 1992-93. Unfortunately, the Suns could not clinch the title against the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/milwaukee-bucks/">Milwaukee Bucks</a>.

Devin Booker

Devin Booker?s Net Worth 2023, Family, House, Cars, and More Devin Booker&#8217;s Net Worth 2023 (Update) Devin Booker has an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to reports. In his eight years long career so far, Booker has reportedly amassed over $130 million in NBA salaries alone. After signing a massive contract extension last year, he will receive $33 million for the current season. Other than his salary, Booker makes a lot from his endorsement deals. As per reports, he earns around $8 million per year from endorsements. Devin Booker?s early life? Devin Booker was born on October 30, 1996, in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he spent most of his childhood. Booker followed in the footsteps of his father from a very early age and started playing basketball. After his freshman year at Grandville High School, Booker moved to Mississippi to live with his father. A young Devin enrolled at Moss Point High School where his father joined as an assistant basketball coach. Furthermore, it was his father&#8217;s alma mater. After an impressive high school career, Booker committed to the University of Kentucky in 2014. He then declared for the 2015 NBA draft after one year of college basketball. Devin Booker?s family and personal life Devin Booker is the only child of Veronica Guti?rrez, a cosmetologist and Melvin Booker, a professional basketball player. Melvin played college basketball for the University of Missouri from 1990 to 1994. After a small stint in the NBA, he mostly played overseas basketball. After Melvin returned to the country, Devin moved in with him to be coached by his father. It worked wonders for the young guard as he soon became one of the best high school players in the country.

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports Devin Booker has been in romantic relationships with celebrities like Jade Ramey, Jordyn Woods, and Kendall Jenner. The Phoenix Suns star and Kendall Jenner started dating in 2020 and broke up in 2022. The two have been spotted together multiple times in public. It looks like Booker is currently single. However, he was recently seen having dinner with actress Jenna Ortega, which have sparked some rumors. Devin Booker?s career Under the tutelage of his father, Melvin Booker, Devin Booker became one of the top prospects in the country. Booker played three years for Moss Point High School, where he became the school&#8217;s All-Time leading scorer. After graduating high school in 2013, the talented star received multiple college offers. After considering his options, Booker opted to join the University of Kentucky. He impressed many with his performances for the Wildcats and in 2015 Booker declared for the NBA draft.

Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports The Phoenix Suns selected Booker as the 13th overall pick in the draft. He came off the bench initially but soon sealed the starting spot with his performances. He quickly became one of the best players for the Suns and was 4th in the Rookie of the Year voting that year. Booker continued his upward trajectory in the league and had an 8-point jump in points average in his sophomore season. D-Book then became one of the best young talents in the league with an almost unstoppable mid-range game. In 2020, he made his first All-Star team appearance and has been a mainstay ever since. Booker can be considered to be one of the most durable and consistent stars in the league. Even though his injury layoffs have hurt the team in the playoffs, Booker has not had any major setbacks so far, playing day in and day out. The shooting guard led the Suns to the 2020-21 NBA Finals for the first time since 1992-93. Unfortunately, the Suns could not clinch the title against the Milwaukee Bucks.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Kevin Durant?</h2>
Since entering the league as the 2nd overall pick in 2007, Kevin Durant has established himself as one of the most prolific scorers of the game. Standing at 6'10 with guard skills, his ability to get his shot off against any defender changed the dynamics and the prerequisites of the power forward position. He has won an MVP award, 4 scoring titles, with multiple deep playoff runs, and 2 Finals MVPs while winning back-to-back championships with the Warriors. Injuries, however, have plagued the past few seasons since his Achilles tear in 2019.

[caption id="attachment_2467162" align="alignnone" width="4273"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2467162" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-12-16T040353Z_348935045_MT1USATODAY22114761_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-YORK-KNICKS-AT-PHOENIX-SUNS.jpg" alt="" width="4273" height="2849" /> Dec 15, 2023; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35) makes the pass against the New York Knicks in the first half at Footprint Center.

When healthy, Durant performs at an elite level: a facet of the player that was brought to light in his 2022 playoff run, when he carried the Nets without co-stars Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons. Though questions linger about his health, his offensive performances have, nevertheless, secured his legacy.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's early life</b></h2>
Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C. The forward spent most of his early life in Prince George's County, Maryland. From a young age, Durant was a very talented basketball star. After graduating from Montrose Christian School, he committed to the University of Texas in Austin in 2006 despite offers from multiple popular programs. After one year of college basketball, KD declared for the NBA draft in 2007. According to reports, he later earned a bachelor's in education with a minor in social work.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Kevin Durant's family and personal life</strong></h2>
Kevin Durant's parents are Wanda Durant and Wayne Pratt. He has three siblings, Brianna, Tony, and Rayvonne. Durant's father abandoned the family when he was an infant and his parents eventually divorced later. The two-time Finals MVP's grandmother helped Wanda in raising him. When KD was 13, Pratt re-entered his life and traveled with him around the country for basketball tournaments.

Durant was once engaged to WNBA star Monica Wright. They started dating in 2013 and were engaged a few months later. However, the engagement was called off, and they reportedly broke up in 2014. He once talked about <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-kevin-durant-once-revealed-why-he-broke-up-with-his-fiancee-i-love-this-girl-but-i-didnt-love-her-the-right-way/" target="_self" rel="noopener">the reason behind the failed relationship</a>.

After this, it was rumored KD dated Cassandra Anderson who is a real estate broker. She was spotted attending his games from the spouses' area during his time with the Warriors. There were multiple social media posts of the two together as well. However, the posts were later deleted. It is unclear whether Durant and Cassandra broke up or whether they are trying to keep it private.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's Net Worth in 2024</b></h2>
Kevin Durant has an estimated net worth of around $300 million, according to various reports. Durant currently plays for the Phoenix Suns, after a blockbuster trade from the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/brooklyn-nets/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> in February 2023. He<span style="font-weight: 400"> is set to earn</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> $46,407,433 during the 2023-24 </span><span style="font-weight: 400">NBA</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> season. The two-time NBA champion also earns tens of millions from endorsements thanks to his popularity and success on the hardwood. Furthermore, KD is also an entrepreneur who invests his well-earned money which has helped him build a business empire. In terms of being the highest-paid athlete in the world, Kevin Durant rounds out the 2023 top ten with $89.1 million.</span>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Durant's career timeline</b></h2>
Kevin Durant was one of the best college basketball stars in the country while playing for the University of Texas. He led the Longhorns to a 25-10 record and clinch 4th seed in the NCAA Tournament. Despite a great game from Durant, the team was eliminated in the second round. For his impressive performances, KD won the National Player of the Year award along with other prestigious accolades. After one year with Texas, he declared for the NBA draft in 2007.

Even though there were some reservations about his lanky build, Durant was expected to be a lottery pick. The Seattle SuperSonics selected KD as the 2nd pick of the draft. However, many still thought that the 6'10" youngster would struggle to play against the well-built stars in the NBA. But that was far from the reality. Durant hit the ground running and won the Rookie of the Year award averaging 20 points per game.

After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>. The Slim Reaper continued his ascension and dominated his opponents. The Thunder were one of the best young teams with KD, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden in the lineup. Durant led the team to the 2012 NBA Finals but lost the title to LeBron James' Miami Heat.

KD was arguably in his prime during the 2013-14 season and won the NBA MVP award averaging 32 points. However, team success was still hard to come by as the Thunder were knocked out in the Conference Finals. After two more disappointing seasons in Oklahoma, Durant joined the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a>. He received major criticism for joining the team that beat the Thunder in the Conference Finals the previous year and also for forming a super team.

Durant instantly helped the Warriors with his skill set and experience. The Dubs won two straight titles and KD won the Finals MVP award on both occasions. The Warriors' hunt for a third straight ring in 2019 came up short in the Finals against the Toronto Raptors as KD struggled with injury throughout the playoffs. After some internal issues within the team, Durant left the Warriors and joined the Brooklyn Nets.

This move was again criticized heavily as Kyrie Irving also joined the Nets the same year. However, because of COVID protocol, Irving missed a lot of games. Then in 2021, Durant's former teammate James Harden also joined the team. But the trio barely played together due to various reasons and Harden left after one year. In the 2022-23 season, the Nets started the season poorly but then went on a great run and looked unstoppable. But things changed after Irving requested a trade and moved to the Dallas Mavericks. Durant later joined the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Phoenix Suns</a> in a blockbuster move to play alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul.

In 2023, <span style="font-weight: 400">Durant announced that he would return to wearing the No. 35 jersey, which he had worn throughout his college and professional career before joining the Nets.
