Durant's matchup

Kevin Durant with thunder jersey is 6 feet, 9 inches tall and lots of defenders thought it's not true.

Brooks said he made the move because he wanted Durant-then just beginning his second NBA season-to focus on learning one position and he thought small forward was the most natural fit. “He’s just a real tough matchup. When you talk about matchups, you look at Kobe and LeBron and Dwyane Wade or Carmelo and then obviously he’s right there,” said Gentry, the Phoenix Suns coach. “Of course, the thing that they don’t have that he has is he’s got such length. He’s almost a 7-foot guy. That’s the bottom line.”

“I think their team likes for him to score and looks for him in all different ways. He’s going to be a terror in this league for the next 15 to 20 years.”
