Did the Westbrook Air Jordan commercial take a shot a Kevin Durant? One expert's opinion

On Sunday, I blogged about the new Jordan Brand commercial featuring Russell Westbrook – a commercial that features a tagline of "Some run, some make runways." You can read that blog here.

Many have taken the ad's tagline as a subtle jab at Kevin Durant's decision to go to Golden State in free agency, but it seemingly doesn't make sense considering the relationship between Nike and Jordan (Jordan is a subsidiary of Nike). Durant is one of Nike's most marketable athletes. Westbrook is the face of the Jordan Brand.

So, I thought I'd seek the opinion of Nick DePaula, a writer for NiceKicks.
