KD is Kevin Durant & Kevin Durant is…

Basketball has always been one of my favorite sports. Mostly because all of the men that played were the icons of the world. Tall, healthy, athletic, active, coordinated, handsome, strong, athletes who knew how to play as a team and make multiple points as a single point guard. KD had the best shoes around that time, I mean the kind that you would see only on these type of athletes. No other sport has a shoe collection of this caliber, none. The size was not even domestic but somehow it slipped past all the legality because no one sold shoes in that size and it was an unspoken standard that no one cared. KDs shoes were everywhere and probably the first correct size shoe men wore. Despite it being an athletic shoe people were going crazy for them and truly committed to the game of basketball. What I noticed was that they were just mass producing his exact same pairs of shoes which was a little disappointing because we could all see what the industry was trying to do. Still to this day they only sell the ones he wore in his life, never anything else. This is known to be an act of negative force bringing about extreme emotions and persistent tormenting. However KD may have felt we all followed his stats, watched his games, and bought any shoe we could. Eventually people stopped wearing them, buying whole loads to keep in honor of his legacy and the true MVP athlete, pioneer, Nobel, icon of America. Kevin Durant is KD. It was so hard to say that people they were two different people. Eventually we were able to get past the chaos of the pleathers of shoes available and get the right balance of power amongst our communities we had KD’s as the number 1 shoe. Although it turned more into a we didn’t want to offend him because we knew that we would never be able to understand just how personal and exposed he must have been. The shoes still to this day haven’t stopped amazing us, true to his exact original pair or under appreciated by the world. Many people view him as someone who has what he needed to be successful and who freely allowed us to be in the same shoes with the same dreams. That’s why he was one of my favorite basketball players and number 1 athletic superstar during my undergrad years. I completed my first college basketball career in the league with the University of Alabama in Birmingham and it was the most rewarding experience as my first professional college career with my team of coaches. Like most athletes, designers, coaches, makeshift I don’t think anyone can put a price on what he is capable of doing. Creating is something I have always loved to do and I wondered if he didn’t have the opportunity of timeless creating and then I remember all the other legendary moments shared throughout his life and I just can’t believe that he was able to create something that was so unique and amazing in his life and I am grateful to have him as a person I share the same grounds with. I look forward to the future of Kevin Durant as he transforms into the next generation of professional Leaders in America revealing new parts of .
