Kevin Durant visited the FedEx Field for the Premier League Summer Season’s second-last match on the closing day. Amid the intense game between Aston Villa and Brentford, Durant linked up with Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell. During their link-up, KD posed with the $3.1 billion-worth soccer team’s jersey, but before that, he ended up embarrassing himself.

During the 70-minute mark of the game, KD and Chilwell appeared in front of the press to pose with the jersey. However, before posing with the jersey, KD attempted to wear the #35 jersey, which ended up being considerably smaller for him. Even before the Slim Reaper decided to remove the jersey, the cameras already captured the moment, leaving KD to blush.

Following that, the video went viral on social media, garnering hilarious reactions from fans. One user said, “I’m Slim Reaper, but I need an XXXXL.”

Leaving the embarrassment aside, KD revealed his favorite Premier League by posing with the Chelsea kit.
