Settling into his (yes, infinite) blue velvet couch, Durant can toggle between the stunning skyline and his trophy-stacked office, filled with a museum's worth of MVP, All-Star and other superlative hardware.

That season was done-the current one too. "What's most important is to take care of my body so I can put my product back on the court," Durant says, fresh from a workout wearing a printed hoodie featuring the antihero from the film A Clockwork Orange and black-and-orange Jordan high-tops.
