NBA Star Kevin Durant Forgot His Coinbase Password—And Bitcoin Soared 11,000%

Kevin Durant forgot his Coinbase Global, Inc. COIN password, which turned into an unexpected blessing. The NBA star, who first started buying Bitcoin BTC/USD during his Golden State Warriors days in 2016, still hasn't regained access to his account, according to CBNC. According to his longtime business partner and agent, Rich Kleiman, Durant became curious about cryptocurrency after a dinner with teammates who wouldn't stop talking about it.
