I can see him coach crossbodys bags driving a van
When Durant’s new Nike commercial “Paint the town” made its television debut last Sunday, though, the ad immediately became Durant’s biggest splash onto the national scene. Right away, it generated rave reviews across the spectrum, from sports commentators to social critics.
While criticizing Durant for playing flag football this week, ESPN First Take’s Skip Bayless couldn’t help but admire the ad that shows Durant driving around Oklahoma City in the middle of the night searching high and low for a pickup game.
“I can believe that is Kevin Durant,” Bayless said, “because I can see him coach crossbodys bags driving a van through the countryside just looking for a game because all he wants to do is play basketball.”
“He’s got the look,” Tebon said. “He’s got that All-American, boyish clean-face look. Even though he’s black, he comes across pretty down the middle of the road. And he’s not a jaw-talker. He’ll bring it down the middle and coach boots throw it down, but he’s not turning around and yapping in your face or anything like that.”
