To say that the main event of NBA All-Star Saturday was a disappointment would be an understatement, to say the least. It was one of the most forgettable Dunk Contests we've seen in a while and, as it turns out, even Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant had to chime in on the letdown.
KD responded to a tweet by podcast co-host Eddie Gonzales suggesting that Durant would have won that Dunk Contest if he had decided to join the festivities. The Nets star decided to answer the tweet with a simple five-word message along with a GIF of himself:

It sounds like KD isn't too interested in joining the Dunk Contest anytime soon. It seems like he's playing down his dunking abilities in his tweet here as well. Admittedly, the Nets superstar is not the most flashy aerial acrobat out there, but he has had his fair share of posters through the years.
Be that as it may, I actually believe that Kevin Durant would have had a shot at winning Saturday's Dunk Contest if he actually participated. His “basic one hand” dunks would have definitely scored higher marks as opposed to some other dunks (or misses) we saw on Saturday night. Yikes.
