There weren’t too many people surprised when Kevin Durant won his first title on Monday night in Oakland. After all, the Warriors were a 73-win, championship-caliber team before signing Durant, so it’s not exactly an underdog story.
Nike certainly wasn’t surprised, as they had prepared a commercial to run in the immediate aftermath of the Warriors’ title clincher on Monday. That ad, which you can see below, aims to fire back at all the critics that have had various knocks on KD throughout his career — from his draft scouting report, to his inability to win it all in OKC, to his decision to join Golden State.
