Triple H gave Durant a custom WWE belt that featured numerous Texas Longhorn logos on it and was primarily burnt orange for Texas, where Durant went to college.

“I’ve always wanted one of these,” Durant said in the video. “Got that burnt orange too … Damn that’s tough. I’m hanging this up ASAP.”

Durant will return to Texas in a special NBA on-campus game on Feb. 20 when the Suns take on the Spurs at the Moody Center on the Texas campus. 

In his lone season at Texas in 2006-07, Durant won the Wooden Award and many other awards labeling him the best college basketball player in the country. He averaged 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds for the Longhorns before being selected No. 2 overall in the 2007 NBA Draft.

Durant has since won an MVP, two NBA championships and Finals MVPs, a men’s basketball record four Olympic gold medals and is eighth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. He will be entering his 17th NBA season this fall with the Suns.
