Kevin Durant is one of the top 25 players in NBA history.

He is still among the best players in the league and is coming off a season where he averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest while shooting 52.3% from the field and 41.3% from the three-point range.

On Sunday, the Phoenix Suns star is celebrating his 36th birthday.

One person to send out a post was Basketball Hall of Famer (and Los Angeles Lakers legend) Magic Johnson.

Johnson wrote: "Happy birthday to Kevin Durant! KD is one of my favorite players and people and his mother Wanda, is truly a special lady. He’s one of the best athlete entrepreneurs out there and he, along with his business partner Rich Kleiman, are currently building a business empire."

He is a four-time Gold medalist, two-time NBA Champion and won the 2014 MVP Award.
