Although Kevin Durant was putting up impressive numbers, another injury hampered his 2021-22 campaign. As a result, he has missed multiple consecutive games for Brooklyn. After the trade of James Harden, further responsibilities fall on his shoulders, when he eventually returns. But with his season average of just under 30 points, don’t be surprised if the 12-time All-Star single-handedly usurps the league.

On Tuesday, a peculiar clip from a high school basketball game went viral. A student of Centennial High School was set to make his free throws, but in a rather funny fashion.

Durant, who watched the video, wasn’t too pleased with what he saw. The Nets forward took to Twitter to react in an absurd manner. Rather than commenting his response, he simply left fans dumbfounded with an image of a frustrated man. Totally confused, NBA Twitter went berserk.
While one fan commented, “TikTok really ruined this generation,” several others came in support of Durant’s stance. Another fan said, “I see a bright future in KD as a coach.” Take a look.

I don’t see the issue with it lol. If it gets him calm and ready to shoot his free throws then let him be. If he making them I don’t care what he does before shooting it. If he was missing after then it would be a different story lol
