Making of the video:
Kevin Durant is without a doubt the most prolific scorer of this NBA Generation. Winning three scoring titles in a row (2010-2012) Averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block for his career. Kevin Durant is one of my most recent favorite players, I never really payed attention to him over the years and I really don't know why? He really is an unguardable player with 6'10 height, long arms and amazing leaping ability, which makes an absolute beast on the offensive end. I would love to see someone hold Kevin Durant under at least twenty points, on any given night (no not Lebron James). I look forward to see him in his prime, which no we haven't seen yet.

You can watch these videos that I used on the NBA's Youtube Channel. IF you were wondering where all of that cool slow-motion was coming from than you can check out the NBA's Phantom videos which are really amazing and great for making NBA Player Mixes.

I got the idea for the song, because it was used as the NBA's All-Star Weekend theme. Which got me thinking. Also I don't mind listening to a little Macklemore on the side. This song was sort of perfect because it had to do with basketball, but on the other hand it had to do with consumerism and money being wasted on basketball shoes. Which in a way is kind of ironic.

Lyrics (WINGS - Macklemore):
I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
And I stepped outside
And I was like, momma, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly
I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
I touched the net, momma I touched the net, this is the best day of my life
Air Max's were next,
That air bubble, that mesh
The box, the smell, the stuffin', the tread, in school
I was so cool
I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
My friends couldn't afford 'em
Four stripes on their Adidas
On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dope
And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, whoa

See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted to start a cult though
Didn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
You could clown for those Pro Wings, with the velcro
Those were not tight
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground,
Cause I wanted to be like Mike, right
Wanted to be him, I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in,
I wanted what he had, America, it begins

[Chorus:]
I want to fly
Can you take me far away
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down

We want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
Got to show 'em, so exclusive, this that new shit
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid
I'm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
Look at what that swoosh did
See it consumed my thoughts
Are you stupid, don't crease 'em, just leave 'em in that box
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
We are what we wear, we wear what we are
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
These Nikes help me define me, but I'm trying to take mine, off

[Chorus:]
I want to fly
Can you take me far away
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down

They started out, with what I wear to school
That first day, like these are what make you cool
And this pair, this would be my parachute
So much more than just a pair of shoes
Nah, this is what I am
What I wore, this is the source of my youth
This dream that they sold to you
For a hundred dollars and some change
Consumption is in the veins
And now I see it's just another pair of shoes

I hope you enjoyed the Kevin Durant HD MIX I will get more out soon.
