Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant and Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink were among the featured speakers at the second annual Game Plan Summit, hosted by CNBC and Boardroom on September 10. While their insights during the event were certainly noteworthy, what truly caught the attention of fans was a photo of the two athletes standing side by side, sparking a wave of reactions on social media.
Boardroom posted the picture on Instagram, showing Durant and Brink posing together, and it didn’t take long for fans to flood the comments section with a mix of humor and admiration.
One Instagram user, julzzz2k6, joked, “Hey Cameron, is this man bothering you?” while another user, jayy93est, remarked on Durant’s height, saying, “Damn KD don’t look 7’0,” referencing the ongoing debate about Durant’s true height. Despite being listed at 6 feet 11 inches on the NBA’s official site, Durant has long denied being a full seven-footer. Meanwhile, Cameron Brink stands at 6 feet 4 inches, according to the WNBA’s website. However, Brink’s heeled boots at the event likely gave her a few extra inches in height, making for a noticeable comparison next to Durant.
Other users focused on Durant’s casual attire, with dirtyjabroni commenting, “KD wearing sweatpants, get a suit bro,” while fans like infam0usp and olatheactivist__ showered praise on both athletes. “Slim Reaper and Killa Cam ?,” infam0usp wrote, blending Durant’s nickname with Brink’s moniker. olatheactivist__ added, “My 2nd GOAT (KD) and Cam my player ??.”

Though the photo stirred plenty of fun reactions, both athletes are at pivotal moments in their careers. Brink is currently recovering from an ACL injury that prematurely ended her 2024 WNBA season. Despite the setback, her future in the league remains bright, and fans are eager to see her return to the court.
Durant, on the other hand, is fresh off an eventful offseason that included adding another Olympic gold medal to his resume with Team USA.
The photo of Durant and Brink may have caught social media’s attention for playful reasons, but it also highlighted two athletes at the top of their respective sports, each making waves in their own way.
As they continue to inspire both on and off the court, the reactions from fans show just how much these two stars resonate with the sports community.
