Kevin Durant compares monster dunk to Tush Push
The The Houston Rockets played rough basketball last week, and found themselves on a three-game losing streak, two of which came against the Portland Trail Blazers and the third against the Sacramento Kings. If there was ever a time for them to come out of a slump, it was early in the week, and they did so in a close game against the Chicago Bulls.
Late in the game with the Rockets trailing by one, Kevin Durant filled the lane and threw down a monster dunk to give the team the lead, and were able to pull away with the win.
A lot of people might have been fans of the dunk, but not Chicago fan favorite Kay Adams. In her last conversation with Durant, she asked why he had to dunk on her home team. He then pulled out his soccer knowledge and compared him to one of the most unstoppable pieces in the game today.
“I had to do something, Kay. We were losing,” Durant said. “It’s just an effective punch. It’s like a Tush Push, you already know it’s going in.”
Kevin Durant on his EFF IOU you nail the Bulls. 🤣 tush push and all… 🤣

Tush Push is a really effective play, and it’s not very often that you see the opposing team stop it. Just look at the Philadelphia Eagles and the Buffalo Bills.
Durant has always strived for efficient shooting and may be one of the more efficient players to ever play the game. Even when he’s older, he can still get to any place he wants and knock over the bucket.
That’s why the Rockets went out and traded for him during the offseason, and the move seems to have paid off so far. They had a difficult part during the season, but they should find their footing again.
