Kevin Durant just won the league's MVP award, but that doesn't mean he can palm a basketball.

"To be honest, I don't even know why it's a story," Durant said Thursday after Thunder practice.

It's a story because Durant is 6-foot-9 and one of the best in the game.

"It's nothing I can control," Durant said. "I don't know what else to say."

So what does Durant have to say about the picture of himself palming two basketballs in high school?

"Those weren't fully inflated," he admitted with a smile.
