Another fan supported Durant and said, “Considering he’s [Durant] one of only three people to get a lifetime Nike deal, I understand why he would feel that way.”
Another fan explained, “If the ad is centered around the Olympics, it doesn’t make sense to not include the greatest men’s basketball Olympian. Second KD [Durant] is one of the most stable Nike brands which generate sales, and it doesn’t make sense to not include him.“
