🤦♂️ Nike Snubbed Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant expresses frustration for not being included in Nike's latest Olympic campaign. Can anybody think of a reason that they left him out? 🤷♂️
Kevin Durant & Nike
Kevin Durant is a three-time Olympic gold medalist and holds the record for the most points ever for USA Basketball. He's arguably the USA Basketball GOAT. All he does is play basketball, play video games, and respond to his haters on Twitter. No distractions, no disappointments, no PR debacles. Just a squeaky clean, good guy. He loves the DMV, his mom Wanda, and the game of basketball the way James Naismith intended 👌
Kevin Durant leads Team USA in every major scoring category while shooting 54/50/86 🎯
He leads Team USA in blocks All Time
Is 7 rebounds away from being their All Time leading rebounder
Is 6th in steals, only 11 away from 1st
Oh and NEVER LET US DOWN! He ALWAYS gets 🥇
🐐💩

Kevin Durant was also inexplicably left out of Nike's latest campaign, "Winning Isn't For Everyone," released ahead of the 2024 Olympics 😬
Winning Isn’t For Everyone. It’s for those who do whatever it takes.

Obviously, KD should have been included. Nike usually kills it with their marketing strategies, so we're just as confused as you are about what went wrong. Even more confusing, Nike is planning to release the KD 17 USA sneaker with an Olympic theme 🇺🇸
And, if you know KD, you know he's going to respond on social media. Look at what he said below 👇

Following the debut of the brand’s new “Winning Isn’t For Everyone” campaign that featured numerous Nike athletes not named Kevin Durant, KD has taken to Instagram to ask Nike a question. 😳

KD had another photoshoot with KITH. His agent and partner, Rich Kleiman, had a subliminal message for Nike as well. His caption: “It is so nice to be seen.” 👀
Kevin Durant appears in Kith's latest lookbook featuring its collaboration with Team USA Basketball.
While there are no sneakers in this collection, any one of these pieces could match your favorite Olympic-themed shoes.

We'll keep monitoring what happens now that Nike has alienated one of its biggest stars. If KD ever left Nike, which he probably won't, we'll look back at this moment 🧞♂️
