The NBA league and the music industry remain connected mostly just because of the attendance of celebrity musicians at matchups. Compared to how fans receive singers and bands when on tour, NBA players seldom get much attention. However, the Golden State Warriors became so famous overseas, that many believe the fans were in attendance by accident. Golden State Warriors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/gallery_medium-2.jpg] WHEN THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS RECEIVED A SURPRISINGLY WARM WELCOME Back in 2017, the Golden State Warriors went to Shenzhen, China as part of an international exhibition included in their preseason schedule. The team was to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Since the GSW were doing well, their win would not have been surprising. However, fans welcomed the team as if they were already champions. As reigning NBA champions, they met with hundreds of screaming fans waiting at the airport in Shanghai and Shenzhen. And this was regardless of the fact that the team arrived rather late into the night. GSW [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2cbe9f124a9b4dd597b8ff9870f80f28.jpg] Former NBA player and current commentator Reggie Miller gave details of the warm welcome in a call during a TNT start-of-season conference [https://soundcloud.com/turner-sports-pr/2017-18-nba-on-tnt-start-of-season-conference-call-with-chris-webber-and-reggie-miller]. He said, “They arrived at 3, 4 o’clock in the morning (in China) and there was one, two thousand people waiting for them at the airport and at their hotel.” Talking about how this fame reminds him of old times, Miller continued, “It reminds me a lot of like when Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls used to travel. It was like the Beatles were coming. The Warriors have that effect.” When Michael Jordan traveled along with the Chicago Bulls for matchups, they were received similarly. Fans overseas went crazy to watch the legends play. Likewise, many GSW fans also made a name for themselves along with their franchise abroad, especially in Asia. Golden State Warriors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/beijingfansmov-3012840.576x324.jpg] THE WARRIORS AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH CHINA Apparently, the Chinese basketball fandom loves the Warriors. To put things into perspective, according to the Chinese Basketball Association, around 300 million people play the game! It might also be because some players made a bond with China and places around it. For example, Kevin Durant established a fan following when he went to Beijing for the Olympics in 2008. Klay Thompson made constant trips to China because of the Chinese sneaker company Anta. Also, Stephen Curry [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stephen-curry/] has made many visits to the country during his career. Curry also had one of the best-selling jerseys in China. All these might be why the CBA community remains slanted towards the Warriors. Well, even though the team seems to have lost its golden touch, we hope their supporters across the globe keep their spirit alive.

welcome from the Chinese Basketball community on reaching the country.

<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 aboutÂ <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">Â 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.

</figcaption></figure>
After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as theÂ <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 theÂ <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.

</figcaption></figure>
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 theÂ <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. The same year, h</span><span style="font-weight: 400">e also finished the regular season shooting over 55% from the field, over 40% from three-point range, and over 90% from the free-throw line, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve those shooting splits in a season. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Durant also passed Hakeem Olajuwon in October for 12th on the all-time career scoring list and became the 12th player all-time to reach 27,000 career points.</span>

Kevin Durant

Who is Kevin Durant? 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&#8217;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. 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. Mandatory Credit: Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY Sports 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. Kevin Durant&#8217;s early life Kevin Durant was born on September 29, 1988, in Washington D.C. The forward spent most of his early life in Prince George&#8217;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&#8217;s in education with a minor in social work. Kevin Durant&#8217;s family and personal life Kevin Durant&#8217;s parents are Wanda Durant and Wayne Pratt. He has three siblings, Brianna, Tony, and Rayvonne. Durant&#8217;s father abandoned the family when he was an infant and his parents eventually divorced later. The two-time Finals MVP&#8217;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 aboutÂ the reason behind the failed relationship. After this, it was rumored KD dated Cassandra Anderson who is a real estate broker. She was spotted attending his games from the spouses&#8217; 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. Kevin Durant&#8217;s Net Worth in 2024 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 Brooklyn Nets in February 2023. HeÂ is set to earn $46,407,433 during the 2023-24 NBA 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. Kevin Durant&#8217;s career timeline 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&#8217;10&#8221; 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.  via Getty After his rookie year, the franchise moved to Oklahoma, rebranding as theÂ Oklahoma City Thunder. 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&#8217; 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 theÂ Golden State Warriors. 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&#8217; 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.  via Getty 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&#8217;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 theÂ Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster move to play alongside Devin Booker and Chris Paul. In 2023, 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. The same year, he also finished the regular season shooting over 55% from the field, over 40% from three-point range, and over 90% from the free-throw line, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve those shooting splits in a season. Durant also passed Hakeem Olajuwon in October for 12th on the all-time career scoring list and became the 12th player all-time to reach 27,000 career points.

Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals and missed the subsequent season. But as the shooting guard was gearing up for his return to the 2021 season, he tore his right Achilles tendon a month before the season opener, which again sidelined him for an entire year. After missing the first couple of months in the 2021-22 campaign, Klay played his game in 941 days against the Cavaliers.

While Thompson took some time to readjust to the game, he became a major part of the Warriors' run to their fourth championship in eight years. This continued his historic run of not losing a playoff series when healthy since the 2016 NBA Finals.

He played college basketball for three seasons with the Washington State Cougars before being picked by the Warriors in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft as the 11th overall pick. Since then, he has been a consistent performer for the team, winning four NBA Championships with them.

Mandatory Credit: D. Ross Cameron-USA TODAY Sports Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals and missed the subsequent season. But as the shooting guard was gearing up for his return to the 2021 season, he tore his right Achilles tendon a month before the season opener, which again sidelined him for an entire year. After missing the first couple of months in the 2021-22 campaign, Klay played his game in 941 days against the Cavaliers. While Thompson took some time to readjust to the game, he became a major part of the Warriors&#8217; run to their fourth championship in eight years. This continued his historic run of not losing a playoff series when healthy since the 2016 NBA Finals.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Stephen Curry's Net Worth 2024</h2>
Stephen Curry did not earn a lot early in his NBA career. Now, having established himself as one of the best players in the league, he is one of the highest-earning basketball players in the world. He became the first player to sign a $200 million contract in 2017. The sharpshooter signed a four-year $215.35 million contract extension with the <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> in 2021, with an annual average salary of $53 million. And while doing so, he also became the first player to sign two straight contracts worth over $200 million.

Curry has an estimated net worth of $160 million, according to recent reports. He has earned over $354,721,977 over 15 seasons with the Golden State Warriors. Also, like most world-class athletes, Steph earns a lot from endorsements and partnerships as well. In 2022, he was the 5th highest-paid athlete in the world earning $92.8 million, with $45.8 million in NBA salary and $47 million in endorsements.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The early life of Stephen Curry</h2>
Stephen Curry was born on March 14, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. The four-time NBA champion was brought up in Charlotte, North Carolina. After graduating from Charlotte Christian High School, Curry joined Davidson College in 2006. The point guard slowly but steadily became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college, Curry declared for the NBA draft in 2009. He later completed his bachelor's degree in sociology in May 2022.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Stephen Curryâ€™s family and personal life</b></h2>
Stephen Curry was born to NBA veteran Dell and Sonya Curry. Much like Steph, Dell was a sharpshooter as well and played 16 seasons in the league, with 10 of them spent with the Hornets. Steph was born just two years after his father entered the NBA. So, naturally, he grew up around the league. The two-time NBA MVP has two younger siblings: Seth and Sydel Curry. Seth currently plays for the Dallas Mavericks, signing a two-year contract in 2023.

Steph married Ayesha Curry in 2011 in front of friends and family, after dating for a few years. The couple has three children together: Riley, Ryan, and Canon Curry. Given Curry's popularity, his children are in the spotlight as well and have quickly become internet sensations.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Stephen Curryâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
Stephen Curry was not dreaming of playing college basketball for Davidson College. However, most D1 college coaches thought Curry was too small and slight. Davidson was the only D1 college to offer him a scholarship because the head coach, Rob McKillop, believed in his abilities. It was a blessing in disguise forÂ <em>The Baby-Faced Assassin,</em>Â as he improved consistently for the Wildcats. He soon became one of the best college players in the country. After three years of college basketball from 2006 to 2009 with some impressive performances, he declared for the NBA draft.

The Golden State Warriors selected Steph as the 7th overall pick, arguably the best decision the team has ever made. However, Curry did not bring success to the team overnight. Even though Curry showed flashes of greatness after entering the league, he suffered from multiple injuries that often kept him sidelined. So the Warriors' decision to draft the young star was under scrutiny.

At the time, Monta Ellis was the best player on the team. Despite Curry's injury woes, they continued to believe in him and his abilities. In 2012, the Dubs traded Ellis to the Milwaukee Bucks and showed their intention to build the team around Curry, which was considered a major gamble by many. Safe to say, it has paid off in multiple folds. And no one is questioning the decision now.

As Curry improved his overall health and fitness, he started playing at a high level consistently. Curry won back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016, with the second one making him the first-ever unanimous award recipient. He led the Warriors to their first championship in 40 years in 2015 and won again in 2017 and 2018.

After a few disappointing seasons, the Warriors were back at the top of the tree as Curry won the Finals MVP award for the first time in 2022 after leading the Warriors to their fourth title in eight years.
