You thought Kevin Durant’s wingspan defied both belief and haberdashery before?
On Thursday afternoon, while Durant was (presumably) relaxing before Game 1 of the NBA Finals, his likeness, plastered on an Alaska Airlines 737, was winging its way to Oakland International Airport.
Durant’s smiling countenance was on both sides of the fuselage, his arms spread, revealing a colossal 50-foot span from fingertip to fingertip. It’s a striking image, probably akin to what NBA players see in their nightmares after two hours of trying to defend his shots and having him block theirs.
The creation took more than 30 decal pieces covering more than 560 square feet, according to Alaska Airlines.
