MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Filmed in Oklahoma City last summer, Thunder forward Kevin Durant and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine shared TV time in a Foot Locker commercial to promote the Nike KD8 shoe.
The 1-minute spot, titled "Eruption," featured LaVine and Durant courtside at a pickup basketball game. As a player skied for a crowd-pleasing dunk, Durant and the onlookers around him stood up and went nuts, but Lavine -- the 2015 Slam Dunk Champion -- sat unimpressed on the sidelines, reading a book entitled "The Funk on Dunk."
LaVine and Durant filmed their parts in sections, so the two didn't spend much time together aside from a brief conversation.
