NBA star Kevin Durant has joined a growing list of celebrities who have invested in European soccer teams with the recent acquisition of a minority stake in Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain. Durant couldn't have picked a better time to join forces with PSG. His acquisition comes on the heels of PSG winning the prestigious UEFA Champions League for the first time.
According to The Athletic, Durant's relationship with PSG will be a "strategic partnership," which will involve Durant serving as an advisor to PSG on potential NBA expansion. France already has a high-quality basketball league that has produced several top prospects. Perhaps the most notable of those prospects is 7'5" Victor Wembanyama, who was picked first in the 2023 NBA draft.
