The hardest part of Thunderstruck

The hardest part for Kevin Durant while shooting the movie "Thunderstruck" -- a film in which he magically and tragically switches talents with an awkward eighth-grader -- wasn't the acting part.

It was missing jump shots.

Asked by director John Whitesell to shoot clumsily and brick several jumpers in a row, Durant repeatedly drained baskets by accident while filming the basketball scenes in Oklahoma City.

His TS% is 67% this finals. For the number of shots he takes that is a crazy number. That would be a good number of Tyson Chandler who takes 5 shots a game.

Kevin Durant probably would have scored 70 points in game, if not for Russell Westbrick taking away his shot attempts... HE IS THAT EFFICENT

Agreed. He was 9-13 at one point in the game, until he decided to play hero ball against the Heat in the paint.

Still ended up 11-19, iirc.
