Kevin Durant surely would have preferred being on the court when the NBA Finals tipped off, but even after an injury plagued follow-up season to his MVP campaign, the Slim Reaper remains one of the game's most marketable stars.
With millions of eyeballs tuned in to Thursday's Game 1 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, Durant's new Sonic commercial debuted, where the four-time scoring champion finds it impossible to focus on the basketball task at hand while visions of candy slushes dance in his head.
There's also a pretty fantastic reflection on Jolly Ranchers.
