NBA superstar Kevin Durant has set his sights on a future role as an NBA team owner, and he has a particular city in mind for this ambitious endeavor.
The Phoenix Suns player expressed his interest in being a part of the league as an owner and revealed that Seattle, the city where his own NBA journey began, holds a special place in his heart.
“Seattle would be the ideal spot. They deserve to have a team there again. I would love to be a part of the NBA in that fashion,” Durant shared about his dream of owning an NBA franchise, via ClutchPoints.
Durant’s connection to Seattle runs deep, as it was where he began his NBA career with the former Seattle SuperSonics before they relocated to Oklahoma City. Now, the prospect of bringing professional basketball back to Seattle excites Durant, and he envisions playing a pivotal role in this potential venture.
With Seattle and Las Vegas being the leading candidates for NBA expansion teams in the near future, Durant’s aspirations may not be too far from becoming reality. As his on-court legacy continues to shine, the Suns superstar is already eyeing a future off the court as a potential team owner, and he hopes to contribute to the growth of basketball in the city that means so much to him.
