What everyone watching the draft did know was that the 6-foot-10 forward from the University of Texas with a 7-foot-5 wingspan and a shooting touch that could not be logically categorized as belonging to a power forward had arrived at the professional level. He won the NBA Scoring Title in his second season. Then again. Then again. Then five times in seven years. His 2007-08 Topps Finest #71 rookie card, graded PSA 10 GEM MINT, is the chrome-format document of the beginning of a career that produced two NBA Championships and a resume as one of the three or four most prolific scorers the game has ever produced.

The green and yellow SuperSonics context makes the 2007-08 rookie card a specific historical document: it predates the Thunder rebranding and belongs to the final chapter of NBA basketball in Seattle. The Topps Finest format captured Durant in that original context — the 19-year-old forward who would develop in OKC into one of the most dominant offensive players the NBA had seen since Michael Jordan.

He had previously won the regular season MVP in 2014 with the Oklahoma City Thunder, delivering what is widely considered one of the most emotional and eloquent MVP speeches in league history. His career scoring average ranks among the highest in NBA history. His ability to score from anywhere on the floor — off the dribble, off the catch, in traffic, in transition — is the most discussed offensive skill set of the post-LeBron generation.
