## Resource

Kevin Durant revealed he never intended to just play one year at Texas—he was stunned by how quickly he dominated college basketball. Winning the Wooden Award was his wake-up call: he’d done all he could individually in college. Though his team didn’t reach the championship, Durant felt it was selfish but right to go pro as a freshman, becoming the first to win that award. Now, with NIL deals reshaping college sports, players may have more reason to stay longer—but Durant’s story still stands as proof that college can be more than just a stepping stone.
