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.

Kevin Durant causes social media eruption with latest post

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. Leading up to his throw, the youngster began dancing in a hilarious manner. Interestingly, he ended up making the free throw in comfortable fashion. As he ran back to defend, the crowd around him erupted at his routine.

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.
