Shoes? Kevin Durant don’t need no stinkin’ shoes.
Early in the second quarter of the Warriors win in New Orleans Friday, Durant came out of his shoes on a layup in the lane. He then picked up his shoe, carried it to the other end, flipped it to the bench, and played defense without it, and while he got moved out of the way allowing an offensive rebound for the Pelicans he then proceeded to block Tony Allen twice at the rim.
One shoe Kevin Durant is officially the greatest rim protector of all time.

Durant — after deciding to play the rest of the game in shoes — had seven blocks on the night, to go with 22 points.
