Kevin Durant can’t palm a basketball

Kevin Durant can do practically anything on a basketball court.

He’s tall and handles the ball like a little guard. He shoots, off the dribble or off a catch, effectively from anywhere on the floor. He’s an underrated passer. When he put his mind to it, he even started defending well.

But he has a limitation.

Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman:

Jaw drops.

How Durant does what he does is amazing. How he does it without being able to palm a basketball…

I have a whole new appreciation for his skills, which I thought I’d already maxed out.
