NBA stars Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets and Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz were among the executive producers for "Two Distant Strangers," which was awarded the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film during Sunday night's Academy Awards ceremony.

According to IMDb, Durant and Conley were two of 10 executive producers on the film, which dramatizes police brutality as an inescapable time loop like a tragic "Groundhog Day" for Black Americans.

I’m devastated to learn that Mike has had any formal collaboration with Durant. ****.
