Kevin Durant finds out about Rockets trade while onstage at Fanatics Fest: 'We're gonna see man'
After weeks of speculation, Kevin Durant is heading to the Houston Rockets following a trade on Sunday. And the star forward found out about the blockbuster trade while onstage at Fanatics Fest. Durant was part of a star-studded lineup at the festival, which took place in New York City this weekend. His onstage appearance turned into a breaking news incident, as news of the trade dropped while Durant was speaking as part of a "Global Game Changers" panel at the event. Advertisement Fan videos show audience members shouting to Durant that he had been traded to Houston. Durant and moderator Taylor Rooks looked confused for a moment, with Durant asking the crowd to repeat what they'd said, before finally catching on to what had happened. Rooks then asked Durant how he felt about heading to Houston — a sentiment that led to a mixture of boos and commotion from the crowd. "We're gonna see man, we're gonna see," Durant replied, with a smile. Rooks did her best to move on with the interview, asking Durant about his go-to gameday song. Durant's answer? "Raining in Houston," by Drake. After the panel, Durant told Kay Adams that he's "looking forward" to being Rocket. "Crazy, crazy last couple weeks, but I'm glad it's over with," Durant said. Advertisement Durant admitted that the trade wasn't a total surprise. "I had an idea, but I didn't know exactly when it was gonna happen," Durant said of the news about the trade. "I'm glad we kind of did this onstage, it worked out." The forward added that he had a role in the trade, and had given Houston as one of his preferred destinations. When asked why, Durant said that the Rockets were coming off a "great season" and that he felt he'd be "a good addition." Throughout the conversation, Durant said that he was very happy with the trade. "You know when people can just hang your career in the balance like and just choose what they wanna do with your career is a nerve-wracking feeling, but being able to kind of dictate what you wanna do, and being with a team that values you, I'm looking forward to it," Durant said. After a Phoenix Suns superteam didn't quite work out like they'd hoped, Durant will be moving on to his fifth team in his storied career (six, if you include the Seattle SuperSonics). The 36-year-old forward will now head to Houston, adding a veteran All-Star presence to a team anchored by up-and-coming players like Amen Thompson and Alperen Şengün. Advertisement The trade is just the latest shift in the Western Conference, which has seen several massive blockbuster deals over the past year, including the Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade, De'Aaron Fox going to the San Antonio Spurs and Jimmy Butler joining the Golden State Warriors.

Big LeBron James Announcement Draws Attention on Sunday
Big LeBron James Announcement Draws Attention on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LeBron James was one of the headline personalities at Fanatics Fest in New York on Saturday. He took time to sit down and record live episodes in front of fans for both "The Shop"—which featured Tom Brady, Maverick Carter, Victor Wembanyama, and Kai Cenat—and his "Mind the Game" podcast alongside co-host Steve Nash. Advertisement In addition to his appearances at the event, another major announcement involving James was made over the weekend: he was officially named 'Favorite Male Sports Star' at the 2025 Kids' Choice Awards. Including his Kids' Choice blimps, this marks the 10th time James has received an award at the ceremony, tying Michael Jordan as the most decorated athlete in Nickelodeon history. LeBron James is set to return for his 23rd NBA season, which will make him the longest-tenured player in league history. He'll turn 41 in December, yet his production remains remarkably high—making him one of the best players in the NBA, even as many of his peers have already retired or are nearing the end of their careers. Advertisement This past season, James averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game, helping lead the Lakers to the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Despite his ongoing success, it remains unclear how much longer the four-time champion plans to play. James has acknowledged that retirement is on the horizon but has yet to commit to a specific timeline. Regardless, his influence continues to transcend the sport, with global fame that spans far beyond the basketball court.

Kevin Durant-Rockets trade news breaks while he's on stage at Fanatics Fest
Kevin Durant didn't say much in the immediate aftermath. But perhaps his smile — the grin that slowly spread across his face — said it all. Durant was on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Sunday when the news broke that the Suns planned to trade him to the Rockets, and the audience roared once the deal was announced. When asked for his initial reaction, though, Durant just said, 'We're gonna see, man. We're gonna see.' Kevin Durant is pictured at Fanatics Fest on June 22. Getty Images He later expanded on his thoughts during a separate interview with FanDuel TV's Kay Adams, saying that he had an idea about the trade but he didn't know 'exactly when it was gonna happen.' 'Being a part of the Houston Rockets, I'm looking forward to it,' Durant told Adams. 'Crazy, crazy last couple of weeks, and I'm glad it's over with.' Durant called it 'fitting' that the trade happened while he was at Fanatics Fest because of the atmosphere to celebrate sports, and he also revealed that he 'most definitely' played a role in helping select his destination. He reportedly preferred a deal to either the Rockets, the Heat or the Spurs after his second full season with the Suns ended with a missed playoff appearance — despite Durant averaging 26.6 points per game and playing alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal to form, on paper, a Big 3 entering the season. 'I just felt like they wanted me to go,' Durant told Adams when asked what he'd say to heartbroken Phoenix fans. '… They got what they wanted, and I got what I wanted.'

AP And he'll now get to join a Rockets team that secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference during the 2024-25 campaign before falling to the Warriors, and while they parted with Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this week's draft and five second-round picks to land the 36-year-old, they still return promising core players and now add one of the league's superstars who told Adams he felt like he'd be a good fit with Houston. 'When people can just hang your career in your balance like that and just choose what they want to do with your career, it's a nerve-wracking feeling,' Durant told Adams. 'But being able to kinda dictate when you want to do and being with a team that values you, I'm looking forward to it.'
