The Kansas City Chiefs have risen from the ashes to conquer the AFC West table with a seven-game winning streak. Their recent matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers resulted in an overtime drama that Travis Kelce took over in the end. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill also contributed his fair share during the 28-34 win Thursday night. The Chiefs were considered dead and buried mid-October by many analysts and fans. However, the Chiefs have proved that they are the same team that has been to the Super Bowl for the previous two seasons. And with the Thursday night win, Tyreek Hill slapped the thought on Twitter that being hated is the best way to fuel encouragement. Wideout Tyreek Hill replied to Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/]‘s tweet following his win, agreeing with him. He wrote although love is great, it is hate that brings the best of them. And that he values hate more than love. “Knew I needed love but I think I value the hate more….” Kevin wrote.

Indirectly, referring to the time when the Chiefs were so vulnerable and criticized by everyone for losing their form earlier this season. Tyreek Hill, along with Travis Kelce, set the Chargers on fire as they had a terrific receiving partnership. Hill finished the Week 15 matchup by covering 148 yards in 12 receptions and a touchdown with an average of 12.3 yards per carry. The Chiefs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/] have done an impressive job by picking themselves up through the times of adversity and paved the way to the top of the table with a respectable 10-4 record. They look very stable now offensively and defensively, so much so that they can even go to the AFC championship game for the fourth consecutive time.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brooklyn Nets 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Brooklyn Nets are a team based out of New York City that competes in the Atlantic Division as a part of the NBA’s Eastern Conference. Former NBA player Sean Marks currently serves as the general manager of the franchise, while former MSG executive John Abbamondi is the team’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/22/nets-hire-john-abbamondi-to-take-over-as-team-president/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">president</a>. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-410776 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201015023522/Brooklyn-Nets-Logo.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the two NBA teams from New York City, with the other being Knicks. However, both teams enjoy a different venue as the Nets play their home games at the Barclays Center, a multi-purpose arena that also hosts NHL and WNBA games. 

Business tycoon and philanthropist Joseph Tsai owns a majority share of the Nets franchise. The Taiwanese-Hong Kong-Canadian billionaire is also the co-founder and executive vice-chairman of Alibaba Group. 

The Nets pulled off a stunning move in 2020 by hiring Hall of Famer Steve Nash as their head coach. Nash replaced his predecessor Kenny Atkinson, who was fired after four years at the job, displaying a record of 118-190 (36.3%).  
<h2 style="text-align: center">History</h2>
The Nets came into existence in 1967, as a part of the American Basketball Association (ABA). During their initial season in the ABA, the Nets were known as the New Jersey Americans, but immediately relocated and changed their name as the New York Nets in 1968. 

Within a span of few years, the NBA and ABA merger happened, and the Nets were one among the four teams that were absorbed by the NBA with the other three being the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Denver Nuggets</a>. 

However, before the merger, the Nets managed to win the ABA championship in 1974 and 1976. Moreover, the franchise returned to New Jersey in 1977 and stayed there until 2012. 

The team hardly found success in the league after being absorbed by the NBA. With meager first-round playoff exits in the 80s, the team lost its shine. The same followed in the 90s as well, as the Nets only managed to make four postseason appearances in ten years. 

The subsequent decade began in grand fashion, as the Nets made back-to-back NBA finals in 2003 and 2003. Powered by the likes of Jason Kidd and defensive stopper Dikembe Mutombo, the Nets showed plenty of promise but ended up losing both finals. 

In 2012, they were once again renamed as the Brooklyn Nets after they began hosting home games at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. During the 2019 offseason, the Nets bolstered their attacking options by signing two superstars in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-durant/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kevin Durant</a> and Kyrie Irving.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Brooklyn Nets mascot and logo</h2>
Ever since moving to Brooklyn in 2012, the Nets have had a simple logo. The word ‘Nets’ is written in a bold font and contains a white basketball below, with a big black ‘B’ written on it. It is surrounded by a shield-like design and the <a href="https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/hsuff5m3dgiv20kovde422r1f/Brooklyn_Nets/2013/Primary_Logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> is finished with ‘Brooklyn’ written beneath. 

The Brooklyn Nets are one among the four teams that don’t have an official mascot. The franchise did have attractive mascots in the <a href="http://sportmascots.com/nba/brooklyn-nets-mascots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">past</a>, namely, the ‘BrooklyNight’ and ‘Sly the Silver Fox,’ but unfortunately, all of them have now retired. 

Furthermore, the primary colors of the Brooklyn Nets uniforms are black, white, and dark gray. The Nets also announced exciting news for its fans, as the team wore a <a href="https://www.nba.com/article/2020/10/14/brooklyn-nets-unveil-classic-edition-uniforms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">classic</a> 1990-91 throwback uniform in the 2020-21 season. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Team Sponsors</h2>
The Brooklyn Nets have partnership ties with a plethora of companies. Most recently, they struck a massive deal with New York-based brokerage platform Webull for a jersey patch sponsorship. The deal is reportedly worth $30 million per year. Besides Webull, the Nets have <a href="https://www.nba.com/nets/corporate-partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">corporate</a> ties with Red Bull, Barclays, Qatar Airways, and several other companies.

<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">Kevin Durant's early life</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">Kevin Durant's family and personal life</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">Kevin Durant's Net Worth in 2024</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. 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.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Kevin Durant's career timeline</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 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.

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, 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.

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.

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.
