A rushing Kevin Durant driving full speed toward the rim is as difficult to stop as an ostrich stampeding down the savanna with no signs of ceasing its darting run.

The struggling Detroit Pistons got a taste of Durant's length and dexterity as he blew right past forward Jon Leuer on his way to the rim. Durant's sheer size, speed, and long strides make him almost impossible to replicate in practice, rendering opponents helpless with his arsenal of finishing moves around the tin.

Of course, point guard Stephen Curry couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease his new teammate from the bench, imitating his motions in ballerina-like motions.

The game turned from fun into a thriller, as the Golden State Warriors escaped the Palace of Auburn Hills with a 119-113 win over the Pistons on Friday, making it six wins in a row heading into their Christmas Day matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
