Mike Tirico Analogized Kevin Durant to Inspector Gadget, Which Is Perfect

Kevin Durant was virtually unstoppable last night, which isn’t necessarily something that’s new, but was highly impressive nonetheless. Amidst his 33 points was a bucket (1:00-mark above) wherein Reggie Jackson grabbed a rebound and threw an outlet that would extend past almost everybody else’s outstretched arms.
