Despite already securing a new lucrative deal with the Golden State Warriors this offseason, Kevin Durant is still continuing to find ways to grow his company more. The Durant company has reportedly made its next major investment, and it will be something not related to basketball, and even sports in general.

After visiting one of its branches, which left him impressed with their service, the reigning Finals MVP, together with his business partner Rich Kleiman, have decided to buy a stake with on-the-spot pizza brand Pieology and own some of its franchises, according to Darrell Rovell of ESPN. He then talked about what made him pursue the new investment, and shared his experience ordering their pizza.

“I went to a one of them and saw how quickly they did it and was really impressed with the quality,” Durant said of Pieology. “I just felt like, given how fast our lives our these days, we don't want to wait for our pizza anymore.”

Durant also clarified that growing his company is something he wants to do personally, and not because he wants to compete with LeBron James, who also has a stake with a pizza company, and the Chipotle restaurant chain.

“This isn't about me versus LeBron. I think we do have different interests and we handle things differently, but the respect for each other is there. I do think we, as athletes, have realized the value of our stock these days, of the control that we have over what makes us valuable, including our social media accounts.”

The 29-year-old is proving that even if he is earning a lot, he understands that playing professional basketball is not something he can do throughout his lifetime. Before he retires, he already wants to make sure he has his future setup, not just for him, but for his family as well. There have been a number of former pros who went bankrupt due to their spending patterns and questionable investments, and Durant definitely does not want that to happen to him.
