Timothy RappDec 20, 2021

After a video of Jayden Moore went viral, showing the young basketball player pulling off a series of moves on the court, Kevin Durant publicly noted that he wasn't exactly impressed.

In Durant's defense, Moore pretty clearly traveled. He also missed the shot. The move also likely wouldn't create separation against elite competition as Moore continues to develop and grow as a player. 

And Durant further commented that it was less about the move itself and more about developing good habits on the court:

Moore had his viral moment. But Durant provided a bit of tough love to the young player, offering a reminder that just because it flashes and sizzles doesn't mean it's sound basketball.
