On September 30, several NBA teams held media days for the new season at the same time. Rockets new player Durant officially made his debut, wearing the Rockets No. 7 to take a final makeup photo. During the period, KD gave up the C position to Amen when taking a photo with Amen Shin Kyung. Durant hoped to renew his contract with the Rockets and praised Amen and Shin Kyung.

Durant arrived at Houston home in casual outfits, and then officially debuted in the Rockets No. 7 jersey, happily taking final makeup photos. During the period, when the Rockets' three core players took a group photo, Durant gave up the C position to Amen; Durant also played games with the Rockets Bears, and recorded videos to express his gratitude for joining the Rockets and could not wait to see the Rockets fans.

Speaking of being traded to the Rockets by the Suns this offseason, Durant revealed that Uduka is his primary attraction for joining the Rockets. KD said: I didn't expect to leave Phoenix so soon, but that's the essence of the game. So I quickly thought of who made me feel at ease, the coaching staff could make me be myself and understand what I could bring to the team. (Uduka) has always been a person who understands my value, mindset and way of playing. He always respects me and gives me space to be himself. This is the first thing that comes to my mind.

Durant joined the Rockets and became the fifth team in his 19-year career. He said breaking up with some teams is indeed “hard”. However, with two championship rings and an MVP trophy in hand, coupled with his brilliant international competition experience, Durant has his own definition of personal legend.

"The definition of the word has become a bit confusing for me over the past few years," Durant said. "For me, the most important thing is to have an impact within the team and build good relationships. I think from the outside, it may be difficult for me to leave a team every time, but behind the scenes, I have built many great relationships and formed lifelong friendships."

Speaking of being a member of the Rockets, Durant said: "I felt very natural when I stepped into the stadium as a Rockets player. I have always been full of respect for the coaching staff, the fan group, Texas and even the city. The sense of belonging is just right at this moment. I think I will renew my contract with the Rockets, which is a place where I can settle down and live."

Currently, Durant can renew his maximum salary contract of $122 million with the Rockets for up to 2 years.

Talking about the appeal of the Rockets' style to themselves, Durant said: "They have the advantage of height, play fast breaks, break through and pass the ball, and switch defenses when defending. I also want to play basketball in this style."

Talking about new teammate Amen Thompson, Durant praised: Amen is omnipotent, 6 feet 7 inches tall, strong athletic ability, and born with extraordinary nature. I don't think I've ever seen a player with such great athleticism.

Speaking of teammate Shin Kyung, Durant praised: "I have worked with some very outstanding big players. They are good at playing their roles - stable defense, high-quality pick-and-roll, able to complete offenses above the basket, and block shots. But I think Shin Kyung can not only do this, he can also handle the ball like an outside guard. With such a big player with multiple offensive skills, I can't wait to see what kind of sparks we can make."

Durant will start his 19th season of his career with the Rockets. He is expected to make his Rockets' debut in the away game against the Thunder on October 22. What results can he lead the Rockets in the new season? Let's wait and see.
