Kevin Durant Traded to Rockets While on Stage at Fanatics Fest

Did Kevin Durant get traded while on stage at Fanatics Fest? Looks like that just happened!

KD is winding down a first-ballot Hall of Fame career. The 2014 MVP won a pair of rings with the Golden State Warriors on a back-to-back run in 2017 and 2018 in which he was named Finals MVP both times. The four-time scoring champ sits 9th all-time in points (30,571) with a shot at passing Michael Jordan (32,292) if he stays healthy next season. The now former Phoenix Sun was traded while in a unique spot - on stage during Fanatics Fest!

Fanatics Fest took over New York City this weekend with a ton of panels, autograph signings, photo-ops, games, and more. From Tom Brady to LeBron James, and John Cena in the mix, the event was a star-studded show. Durant completed in the Fanatics Games against other athletes and fans for prizes including a million dollars before taking the stage for a panel.

While on stage for the Global Game Changes panel, we all learned together that Durant had been traded the Houston Rockets!

From the Fanatics YouTube short:

Durant was traded for Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, the number 10 pick in the NBA draft coming on Wednesday, and FIVE second-round draft picks.

Can you think of another time we found out about a trade while the athlete was on stage giving an interview? Wonder how long KD held the secret in while enjoying the show.
