NBA star Kevin Durant can’t access his old Coinbase account, where he started stacking BTC back in 2016. 🤷

His agent Rich Kleiman isn’t worried though:

👉 “We never sold anything, and Bitcoin just kept mooning — it only benefited us.”

Durant bought BTC when it was $360–$1,000. Now it’s at ~$116K — over +11,000% since then. 🚀

Coinbase says they’re working on recovery, but for now KD’s forgotten password is turning into the best “HODL strategy” of all time.
