Kevin Durant, forward for the Oklahoma City Thunder, is a superstar in the NBA. His height, paired with his smooth jumper and expert handles, make him a mismatch for virtually every defender he encounters. Sometimes, he even brings defenders to the floor. On Wednesday, he made someone fall to the floor again. This time, however, no ankles were harmed in the process.

He bested 1,000 players and won $55,110. Read More »
