Kevin Durant used his underrated ball-handling skills to get to the rack and embarrass Miami Heat Forward Chris Bosh.
KD started the play as the ballhandler dribbling his way to half-court. An Enes Kanter pick soon sprung Durant free from Justise Winslow’s defense. Kevin immediately rushed the rim and shook Josh McRoberts with a Shammgod in-and-out dribble. It only took one dribble and the Durantula’s long legs to get to the rim where he was met by Chris Bosh. Kevin’s long arms somehow helped him go beside the vertical Bosh, throwing one down with his left hand.
The sneakers Durant rocked for this play was the Nike KD 8. This shoe featured a Flyweave upper for instant comfort, with added durability compared to a knit. Instead of a traditional heel cup, “teeth” resembling a sabertooth tiger’s were used to provide stability. The sabertooth tiger is one of Durant’s favorite animals, which he has tattooed on his leg. Segmented full-length Zoom Air gave Kevin responsiveness for a quick first step, with the cut sections allowing for more flex to the shoe.
Kevin Durant rocked a black and white player exclusive for this matchup, which was not made available to the public.
