Such a natural looking picture.
Real GM - Kevin Durant has signed an endorsement deal with the fast-food drive-in chain Sonic. “Everything that Kevin pitches comes from an authentic point of view,” said Michael Yormark, president and chief of branding and strategy for Roc Nation, Jay Z’s agency that represents Durant. “When it comes to grab-and-go food, KD’s a Sonic guy.” An extra layer of motivation to forge the partnership comes from the fact that Sonic, which has 3,500 restaurants in 44 states, has its headquarters in Oklahoma City. It’s the second deal that Durant has done this year with an Oklahoma City company. Sonic is not an NBA partner nor a Thunder partner but expects to feature Durant heavily, especially during the playoffs.
This is such a classic move. We’ve seen people make moves like this 100 times, and every single time the idiot sheep can’t think outside the box and see it for what it really is- a swerve. He had to do something to make people forget that he’s leaving OKC in two years. Basically everything he’s done for the last year and a half has been about coming home to DC. His shoes, his quotes, his tattoos, his Instagram pics, everything. So it’s the easiest swerve ever- sign an endorsement deal with a local company and get everyone back on your side. Get the OKC fans to sleep a little easier at night until he bolts town in 2016 like we all know he’s going to do. So no, this shouldn’t worry Wizards fans 1 iota. If anything, it’s further proof that KD2016 is happening.
