Stars Don’t Lie: Could Curry and Durant Work Astrologically?

There’s a lot of big talk around the Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant and where he’ll end up if he becomes a free agent at the season’s end.

Durant—27, Libra, Air Sign, philanthropist, point-scoring progeny of Zeus—has his priorities locked in on the current season. The 2013-14 MVP concerns himself with how he can be a good leader and teammate, and how he can improve his own game individually.

According to Durant, “Everything else comes after that.”

Despite what Durant says or does not say, what he thinks or does not consciously think, there are more cosmic powers at work, on the court and elsewhere. The answer to where Durant should go sits upon the Basketbastrology™ astrolabe.

TRUTH: The Golden State Warriors appears to be a frontrunner among the teams vying for Durant’s heart.

While the Warriors are already a whirring machine of stellar death, Durant is one of the league’s foremost talents—a big man with an outside shot, the reigning MVP before Steph Curry won last year. We’ve seen enough super teams fail to develop chemistry recently to know that even if Dwight Howard isn’t involved, it’s a risky proposition. Is Oakland ready for a galaxy of stars?

Let us take a good solid look at the forecast for the Libra Durant.

Kevin Durant: this is a champion year for you. You are in high demand in 2016 and through your personal and career successes you will find great satisfaction and fulfillment. Your talents will truly set you apart and put you ahead.

Although you will find enjoyment in your current circles, people will continue to surprise you this year – particularly in the months of April and May. Open yourself up. Make a new friend. Who knows? This new comrade may even become a future colleague and teammate come the summer…You never know.

After all your toil and tribulations during the spring and throughout the playoffs (yeah, that’s right…) you will have earned a well-deserved summer of relaxation. Get yourself to the sea. Get yourself on a boat – or just get a boat. Escape. Wine. Dine.

You will gain perspective if you do not act rashly. Take heed. Fast decisions are bad decisions for you, Libra. Wait until the second half of the year before you make any career moves. In the meantime, seek that newfound friend.

Can the stars tell us who this perfect friend will be? The stars are variable, and though change is constant, imminent, there are certain irrefutable truths written in.

TRUTH: Astrologically speaking, future teammate hopeful Steph Curry and Kevin Durant would be one helluva celestial hoop dream. When the power of their stars combine, Steph Curry a soon-to-be-28-year-old Pisces, Water Sign, Dreamer, You-Cannot-Believe-The-Shots-He-Makes powerhouse and his Earth Dragon brother have the ability to make sparks fly on the court. Pisces and Libra are a perfect blend of head and heart. Through mutual respect, a commitment to achieving goals, a sense of teamwork and absolute dedication, together, this Pisces-Libra duo would literally shoot basketballs with tails made of flame – as it was writ.

TRUTH: Curry is the Nike® Ying to Durant’s Under Armour® Yang.

Contrast that with his relationship with current Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. Undeniably talented, Westbrook’s a tempestuous Scorpio. Let’s not pretend like we haven’t wondered just how compatible the more aloof Durant and the passionate Westbrook—who notoriously takes what he needs, including shots, from his partner, in this case, Durant.

If the stars align as it has been foretold, perhaps the name Steph Curry instead will be added to Durant’s short list of those he extends such irrevocable trust, mutual respect and friendship with.
