Kevin Durant is one of the NBA’s most popular and most successful players currently in the game.
The following year, the Seattle Supersonics relocated and rebranded, becoming the Oklahoma City Thunder.
From there, he spent three years on the Golden State Warriors, two of which they won championships.
It’s a storied career for the 32-year-old athlete.
Unlike others in his field, he’s managed to keep a lot of his private life, private.
There is one great love that Durant has opened up about, however.
The two met before their professional careers had gotten underway.
They became friends after meeting at the 2006 McDonald’s High School All-American Game (perSt.
Paul Pioneer Press).
It’s unclear at what point things turned romantic for the two basketball stars.
In May 2013, the two were publicly claiming to be just friends.
Just two months later, rumors that the two were engaged started to spread online.
Wright publicly confirmed the engagement in a post-game interview that month (perESPN).
The breakup was quiet, but Durant broke his silence about it two years later.
In an interview withGQ, he admitted he was still healing from the situation.
“I had a fiancee, but …
I really didn’t know how to, like, love her, you know what I’m saying?
We just went our separate ways,” he told the magazine.
“We was just hanging out, chilling.
And I felt the energy.
I felt, ‘I need to do this right now.
‘And I just did it,” he shared.
“I was like … ‘We’re engaged right now?
We’re about to get married?’
So I was just like, cool!
I love this girl.
But I didn’t love her the right way.”
