The last time Kevin Durant played for a Texas team he was a freshman at the University of Texas. On his 37th birthday on Monday he was officially introduced as a Houston Rocket, returning to the state he’s long been fond of. “It feels amazing to be back here,” he said at the team’s media day. Durant joined the Rockets in July in a blockbuster trade that involved seven teams and sent Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks to Phoenix. The 15-time All-Star and four-time Olympic gold medalist joins a young team that finished second in the Western Conference in the regular season before losing in the first round of the playoffs.
