Perhaps not everyone knows that Kevin Durant has a particular habit: to feel “lighter” on the pitch, wears a larger shoe size than would be needed for his already sizeable feet, bringing 18 (equivalent to 55 European) instead of 17. A detail recounted in 2018 by an article by Chris Herring and returned very topical this night, when KD with an impossible basket brought the game-7 between Brooklyn and Milwaukee in a draw, signing points number 47 and 48 which represent a record for a playoff game-7. However, it could have been 49 if only KD had not stepped on the line of the three-point shot with his toe., so much so that Durant himself after the game revealed that thought he had scored from three: “All the fault of my big foot …” he said in front of the press, calling him “big ass foot“. “I just reviewed how close I came to ending their season“.

In the extra, however, the tiredness of a match spent entirely on the pitch without ever going out even for a second it took over, with KD who missed all six shots attempted in the overtime also being stopped by Brook Lopez on a decisive possession with less than a minute to go. For him in addition to the 48 points there are 9 rebounds and 6 assists with 17/36 shooting, 4/11 from three and 10/11 for free – but a few centimeters, never like this time, made the difference between victory and defeat.
