Chicken-Fried News: Birthday baller

Most kids love birthday parties and professional athletes. They also love surprises. So, when that trifecta happens, they lose their minds, especially when sports hero Kevin Durant surprises one of them for his birthday only to whip his rump at a pop-a-shot basketball arcade game.

That’s right; our injured warrior — who played only 27 games last season — was in Los Angeles to promote his new sneakers when he stopped at a Dave & Buster’s to crash the party. He then proceeded to own the birthday boy at the beloved game. The final score was around 42-26.

Hey, KD. We realize the competitive nature of professional athletes is one of the things that make them so great. However, can’t you just let a kid win on his special day?
