Kevin Durant’s Iconic University of Texas Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

A Freshman Phenomenon

Kevin Durant’s arrival at the University of Texas marked a transformative moment in college basketball history. As a freshman, Durant achieved unprecedented feats, earning the Big 12 Player of the Year honors and becoming the first freshman to win the National College Player of the Year award. His remarkable averages of 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game set a new standard for excellence in collegiate sports.

From College Star to NBA Legend

Durant’s prowess on the court did not stop at the collegiate level. He went on to become an NBA MVP in 2014 and a four-time NBA scoring champion. His legacy at the University of Texas was immortalized when his No. 35 jersey was retired, a testament to his extraordinary impact on the program.

The Jersey: A Symbol of Greatness

This particular jersey, adorned with the iconic “TEXAS” across the chest and the number “35” on both the front and back, is a rare and valuable piece of basketball memorabilia. Crafted with precision, the jersey features white tackle twill with burnt-orange trim, and the player name “DURANT” is elegantly sewn onto the burnt orange mesh fabric.

• Manufacturer’s Tag: The front left tail bears a “NIKE ELITE” size “52” tag with a “LENGTH +4” flag tag.
• Team Logo: Inside below the rear collar is a Nike “TEAM” logo in white.
• Signature: Durant’s autograph, in black marker, graces the jersey adjacent to the front player number, rated a 7 overall in our opinion.
