Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant has become quite a businessman with his successful ventures in the industry. Now, he's looking to influence people as he is reported to have a business-oriented show on ESPN+.

Andrew Marchand, a sports columnist for The New York Post, posted this development on his Twitter account.

If this is indeed happening, Durant could share how he has extended his reach beyond the basketball court and how he successfully entered the business industry.

When he cited holistic development as a person and a more serious community involvement as his reasons for joining the Warriors in 2016, Durant has since invested in a number of businesses and have reaped fruitful results.

He also cites that venturing into the industry is not just about having the right amount of money. It's also about hard work. Emmie Martin of CNBC wrote about what Durant learned about business and companies.

“I used to think these billionaire venture capital firms got a hold of one company, invested in it and it blew up,” he said. “I didn't know that they get 100 deals to look at in a day and pick the best nine or 10 to consider. That's a lot of work.”

In an article written by Alex Kennedy of HoopsHype, he mentioned how Durant's business dealings have positively influenced his peers, including Larry Nance Jr. of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“The goal is always to have success beyond basketball, so when you see guys like KD and LeBron who are having all of this success away from the game, it’s proof that you can do it,” Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. said.

Indeed, NBA players are racking up millions of dollars each year, but they can't play the game forever. With that, life beyond basketball takes up a greater shape and players like Durant and Nance know they should be ready when that time comes.
