JAKARTA - Kevin Durant is known for his ability on the basketball court. However, the Brooklyn Nets star is also a shrewd entrepreneur.

Durant's latest venture is in the world of legal cannabis sales, which is growing rapidly in the United States.

The NBA star joins a number of celebrities, including David Beckham, Mike Tyson, Miley Cyrus, and Jay-Z, into the cannabis business. The basketball star had wanted to do it for a long time.

He joined the company Weedmaps, which sells marijuana in the US.

In a promotional video released to the public, Durant talks about the use of drugs in sports and how the stigma around it has diminished in recent times.

He hopes people are more open-minded about the use of marijuana in sports.

"I think it's always interesting that the rest of the world has been a little slower to open up about marijuana and its use", Durant said, quoted by MARCA, Monday, August 23.

"Athletes still have to undergo marijuana testing four times a year, and it feels like the world is starting to get closer to how people feel about marijuana use, and now it's an open dialogue and it's amazing to hear".
