Kevin Durant can do it all on the court. He can shoot, rebound, score, and dominate the game from all angles offensively. His long arms allow him to get his shot over any defender, and they help him launch an all-out aerial assault at the rim. No big man is safe when Kevin Durant gets a running start.
It doesn’t matter if the game is a simple pre-season game, or an intense NBA Finals matchup, Durant will posterize anyone, anytime, anyplace. He might even add a nice scowl to top it off, 'cause #KDISNOTNICE. From his monster dunks in the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat to his baptisms of Roy Hibbert, JaVale McGee, and Brendan Haywood, here’s a look at Kevin Durant’s Most Badass Dunks.
10. Majestic Flight
Date: 5/31/2012
Victim(s): Tim Duncan
This play is amazing because it looks like Durant is going in slo-mo. But then he hits the gas and rises above Duncan with the ridiculous finish. Sorry Timmy.
9. The Skip 2 My Lou Posterization
Date: 11/17/2008
Victim(s): Rafer Alston, Von Wafer
The Durantula skies all the way to the rack with two defenders jumping at him and still finishes. The kid is a magician. We wonder what's really in that backpack.
8. Pre-Season Poster
Date: 10/15/2009
Victim(s): Joel Anthony
KD usually saves his best for the postseason, but he felt like starting early this time. Just because it's pre-season doesn't mean you're safe. Joel Anthony can testify to that.
7. H-Town Facial
Date: 1/12/2011
Victim(s): Patrick Patterson
Traffic is no problem for Kevin Durant. He passes by a few Rockets and finishes with relative ease.
6. The Double-Clutch Flush
Date: 1/2/2009
Victim(s): Francisco Garcia, Spencer Hawes
KD hits the Kings with the ol' now you see me, now you don't dunk. He can't be contained!
5. Birdman Gets His Feathers Plucked
Date: 4/8/2009
Victim(s): Chris Andersen
Soaring high to flush it on a guy who goes by "Birdman?" How ironic. Andersen should've just taken the L on this one. #laylow
4. And-1 Facial
Date: 4/25/2012
Victim(s): JaVale McGee
JaVale McGee should be sent down to the D-League after getting smashed on like that. The guy is a walking, talking FAIL meme.
3. "Welcome to the NBA, Fam"
Date: 11/6/2012
Victim(s): Jonas Valanciunas
Jonas Valanciunas only played three games before he was properly introduced to the NBA. Durant throws the hammer down and sends the rookie to cry by himself in the locker room.
2. The Destruction of Roy Hibbert
Date: 4/6/2012
Victim(s): Roy Hibbert
No words are said whenever this type of dunk happens. Just bitter beer faces all around due to the disgusting facial the room just witnessed. Roy Hibbert has no business getting dunked on like that. He should've been benched.
1. Higher Learning
Date: 5/19/2011
Victim(s): Brendan Haywood
This dunk was especially nasty because Durant didn't see Haywood on his way to the basket and Haywood just stood there and took it in the face. On another note, check out the janitors coming in at :09 to clean up the mess.
