Yep, stained glass backboards are now a reality thanks to the good people at Literally Balling.

Kevin Durant is the reigning MVP and scoring champ but his All-Star selection this year was a bit controversial since he’s only appeared in 24 of his team’s 51 games to this point in the season. The ever competitive Durant stood by his selection and when asked whether or not another player should have been chosen he said, “Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.” At the time it was taken as a challenge to Damian Lillard who wrote a lengthy Instagram caption about being snubbed. As you know Lillard never responded to that and was later chosen to replace the injured Blake Griffin. Someone else however took Durant up on his offer, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

How about them Hawks?
