Congrats to Kevin Durant and Mike Conley, who exec produced an Oscar-winning short film

Congratulations!!

The photo you see above, of course, is not Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant and Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley.

That’s Martin Desmond Roe and Travon Free, who won Oscars for the Best Live Action Short Film of 2021, Two Distant Strangers. Their speech — see below — was extremely powerful.

But did you know Durant and Conley were executive producers of the short? They were! Per IMDB, it’s Conley’s first credit as a producer, while Durant has produced a few projects, including The Boardroom, the upcoming Swagger, and Basketball County: In the Water.

Durant was excited about the win, per his Twitter feed, and the Jazz (and some teammates) congratulated Conley:
