Kevin Durant Photo From Reaction to Rockets Trade Turned into Autographed Topps Card
Kevin Durant now has one of the most unique basketball cards after being traded to the Houston Rockets on Sunday.
Durant was on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York City when he heard the news of his trade from the Phoenix Suns to Houston, so his reaction was caught live. A card featuring a photo of his reaction is now available, Topps announced Sunday.
Topps also revealed a one-of-one autographed version of the card. Durant signed the card with the phrase "New City, Same Sniper."
Durant was in the middle of an interview with TNT's Taylor Rooks when fans informed him of the news of his trade. He seemed a bit surprised, but delighted to find out he was heading to Houston.
The Rockets reportedly sent Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft and five second-round draft picks to Phoenix in return for the 15-time All-Star. He'll look to help a team on the rise compete for a title.
It's not often a player's reaction to a trade is caught in front of a massive audience, so it only makes sense that the moment is etched into history with a basketball card.
