He did it! With his recent trade to the Houston Rockets, Kevin Durant has officially completed the NBA rainbow, suiting up for teams across the league and joining a rare club of active stars to do so. While Dennis Schröder pulled off this feat in just over two years, Durant’s journey has been storied—filled with scoring titles, MVP awards, and unforgettable playoff runs. Now, at nearly 37 years old, he’s signed a team-friendly extension with the Rockets, aiming to end his legendary career on top as an NBA champion once again. Surrounded by a talented young core in Houston, KD’s veteran presence and elite scoring might be the missing piece to elevate this rising squad into true contention.

As we reminisce about the incredible journey of one of the game’s all-time greats and look ahead to his final chapter with the Houston Rockets, let's revisit some of Kevin Durant’s most valuable and iconic cards from every team he’s played for.

1) Seattle Supersonics

We start where it all began: the Seattle Supersonics. Durant’s rookie season produced some of the most iconic and valuable cards of his career, none more legendary than the 2007-08 Exquisite RPA /35. Once a white whale for collectors, this card reached staggering heights, selling for as much as $780,000 back in 2021. While the market has cooled significantly since then, the allure of this card remains untouched. It represents the beginning of a Hall-of-Fame career, and for many, it’s still the crown jewel of Durant’s cardboard legacy.

2) Oklahoma City Thunder
Although technically the same franchise as the Supersonics, KD’s move to Oklahoma City marked a completely new chapter—new jersey, new city, and a new era. It’s where Durant truly made his name, evolving from promising rookie to league MVP and global superstar. The standout card from this era is the 2012-13 Panini Prizm Black Label BGS 10 /25, a stunning autograph that's pure eye candy for any Prizm collector. Back in 2021, this gem fetched around $48,000 and today remains a nostalgic nod to one of the most electrifying stretches of Durant’s career.

3) Golden State Warriors
Durant’s move to Golden State may have stirred controversy, but it’s also where he cemented his legacy as a champion and solidified his place among the all-time greats. His most expensive card from the Warriors era is the 2022-23 Flawless Triple Logoman featuring KD, LeBron James, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, a hobby holy grail that sold for a jaw-dropping $122,000 in August 2024.

For solo Durant cards, his top individual Warriors card is the 2017-18 Flawless Logoman BGS 9.5, which brought in $40,000 back in 2021. Whether shared or solo, KD’s Warriors cards are elite—just like his Finals MVP performances.

4) Brooklyn Nets

Ah, the Brooklyn chapter—the stop Kevin Durant probably wishes he could erase. Teaming up with Kyrie Irving and James Harden was supposed to create an unstoppable superteam, but things never quite clicked. Still, it wasn’t a total loss; it’s where KD built a relationship with current Rockets head coach Ime Udoka, who he'll now play under in Houston. As for his top Nets card, that would be the 2021-22 Flawless 75th Anniversary Logoman Autograph 1/1, which sold for $30,500 in August 2024. It’s a beautiful card tied to a forgettable era—but still a significant piece of Durant’s journey.

5) Phoenix Suns

Durant’s time in Phoenix came with high expectations, pairing him with Devin Booker to chase another title. While the run didn’t deliver the ultimate prize, KD demonstrated he’s still elite, proving last season that even in his mid-30s he’s worth every bit of trade capital. His top-selling Suns card is the 2023-24 Panini National Treasures Logoman 1/1, which sold for $10,200 in April 2025. It’s a sleek and rare piece marking a short but impactful stint in the desert.

6) Houston Rockets

Wait a minute—Durant doesn’t even have a Rockets jersey card yet, so how's this on the list? Well, thanks to the fast-moving hobby, Topps NOW dropped a surprise card commemorating the exact moment KD learned he was headed to Houston—live on stage at Fanatics Fest last weekend. The 1/1 autograph version titled "KD Learns He’s Headed to Houston" is already generating buzz and will almost certainly fetch a hefty price. It’s a unique piece of hobby history and the perfect way to kick off Durant’s final NBA chapter.
