Despite all the big names who have worn this jersey, from Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant is the best player in Team USA history. However, he has just been badly snubbed before the Olympic Games, and he has difficulty accepting it.

Kevin Durant hasn’t won an NBA title since 2018, many fans still resent him for joining the Warriors in the summer of 2016, and yet he remains one of the biggest superstars in the league.

It must be said that he is an extraordinary talent and that seeing him string together baskets with class and delicacy is a pleasure of which our eyes will never tire.

But at almost 36 years old there is one undeniable fact: he is closer to the end than the beginning.

If this is not yet noticeable in the game, it is on the marketing level.

Nike is trying to bring in new stars like Victor Wembanyama, so poor KD was totally snubbed from the brand’s latest ad campaign for the Olympic Games:

In this wonderful advertising spot, LeBron James puts basketball in the spotlight, just like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Wemby and Kobe Bryant… No trace of Kevin Durant on the other hand, who was particularly offended.

He therefore rushed to ask for explanations from Nike on social networks, hijacking the campaign slogan.

Nike, tell me, am I a bad person?????

Kevin Durant is certainly the best player in the history of Team USA, a legend of the Olympic Games, so we can understand his disappointment in the face of the snobbery of his equipment supplier.

A decision all the stranger as many basketball players will wear his shoes on the floor of Lille and Paris.

What if he had just found a new source of motivation to beat the competition?

KD is one of the most talented Nike athletes in history, and yet he didn’t get his few seconds of fame in the latest ad campaign.

It’s something he has difficulty digesting, and we can understand that.
