Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant was gifted a very special present from WWE superstar Triple H at the Fanatics Fest in New York Saturday.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!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.”
Ran into @KDTrey5 at @FanaticsFest and had to make sure he could (literally) carry the @TexasLonghorns legacy wherever he goes. #HookEm @Fanatics pic.twitter.com/KhJns5tV92

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.
