Durant Can't Palm a NBA Basketball?

Kevin Durant insisted that he cannot palm an NBA basketball.

Durant said he can palm high school and college basketballs but not the pro ball.

So wtf? I thought college and NBA basketballs were the same size? I did a quick google check on articles and online stores and all seem to agree the standard size for college and pro is 29.5"-30.0".

Why is Durant playing mind games with us?

Real leather vs composite

the material is so slippery that it makes it that hard to palm a ball?

Durant just bullshitting again same way he's considered to be 6'9"

"Durant said he can palm high school and college basketballs"

Those arms, though

I honestly don't believe when a player says he can't palm a basketball or that he's a lot shorter then his listed height.
