Last night, Seattle Supersonics (because I don’t care what you say) star Kevin Durant tweeted out a picture of his fancy new law degree.
This announcement marked the end of a bizarre three-day journey for Durant, who first expressed his interest in law on February 8.
Then he got to studying:
AI Is Reshaping Legal Practice—But Tools Aren’t The Real Differentiator.
Explore the mindset, cultural shifts, and training strategies that define the AI‑savvy lawyer, revealing why human judgment, standardized competence, and integrated learning—not technology alone—will shape the future of the profession.
Hm. What are his reasons? I hope he knows he can’t sue his way back into the playoff field. This tweet came complete with a video of him speed reading casebooks.
I guess all that studying paid off because three days later he hoisted his new degree.
Now of course there is no Seat Pleasant University Law School — as the “Half Court” seal might have suggested. It seems like this is a purely fictional vanity institution concocted to make a guy feel like he’s a lawyer. So when you get right down to it, it’s not much different than Cooley.
