KD has been working on several new moves this summer. One of them is a one legged fadeaway made most famous by Dirk Nowitzki. Here’s a look at the move KD pulled against the Mavs in the Thunder’s preseason opener:

Now here’s a look at the move from the originator, Dirk.

Looks like KD captured the move pretty accurately. After the game, KD talked to The Oklahoman’s Darnell Mayberry about his new Dirk move:

“Yeah, he’s the originator,” Durant said laughing. “I stole that from him a little bit. I’m not as good as he is at it. But I’ve been working on it, and it was the perfect time for me to do that with the defender playing the way he was playing. I’m glad I made it. I thought it was going to be an air-ball.”

Stay tuned and see what other new moves KD added to his repertoire this offseason.
