Towering over opposing small forwards, Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant expertly uses his height to get off a shot almost whenever he wants. Durant's height also apparently helps him with his dating life.
Durant is listed at 6-foot-9 but when he is on a date, the Thunder forward tells women he is actually a seven-footer.
From an entertaining read the Wall Street Journal's Chris Herring:
“For me, when I’m talking to women, I’m 7 feet,” he said. “In basketball circles, I’m 6-9.”
There’s actually a basketball reason behind Durant’s white lie. “But really, I’ve always thought it was cool to say I’m a 6-9 small forward,” he said. “Really, that’s the prototypical size for a small forward. Anything taller than that, and they’ll start saying, ‘Ah, he’s a power forward.’ ”
Smart thinking by Durant, who knows how to take advantage of his height on and off the court.
