LeBron James Kevin Durant video goes viral

A lot of NBA stars have their pregame routines. LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, is famous for his chalk toss before every game. In the game between Team USA and Team South Sudan, people saw James doing his signature pregame routine. Phoenix Suns Kevin Durant was spotted standing near James.

However, as soon as James did his chalk toss, Durant was seen catching a cloud of dust ahead of their exhibition match. Durant must have taken a great amount of chalk dust in the face. He moved away from LeBron James and tried to get the dust out of his eyes. After this happened many NBA fans were seen cracking up. The video went viral on social media in no time.



The Phoenix Suns star, Kevin Durant wasn’t seen to be returning yet from a calf strain injury. Durant missed the last 3 exhibition games for Team USA. He is expected to return for the world stage matches which will be starting soon.

The addition of Durant will be a great confidence booster for the team. He will even provide the much-needed clutch scoring that Team USA is somewhere lacking right now. The player was selected for Team USA for his great performance last season for the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.

Durant getting chalked in the face before the game against Sudan was a hilarious sight. The incident would serve as a warning for all players not to stand beside LeBron James during his pre-game routine. This routine may bring luck to James but certainly not to the one right beside him, as Durant found out the hard way. As expected the video went viral on social media and saw fans giving out many hilarious reactions.



It is a delight to see both legends after being rivals for more than a decade teaming as part of Team USA. Furthermore, fans can expect many memorable moments between James and Durant in the coming 2024 Paris Olympics.
