Kevin Durant’s “Deo-Durant” spot with Bear Grylls

There was a teaser for it a few weeks ago, but the official ad has come out featuring Kevin Durant, Bear Grylls and… Mark Messier?

In the commercial, Durant gives Bear his challenge which is a “Heli-oop” meaning that Grylls jumps from a cliff on to a helicopter. It’s a cool stunt and I’m sure it was difficult, but it didn’t have near the same awesome look I expected. I guess when you could actually die doing some stupid stunt for a commercial, you don’t ramp it up and dive 15 feet across open space with jagged rocks beneath like they do in Hollywood. I’m just glad Bear was the one doing the jumping, not KD. I might’ve passed out watching that.
