The scene didn't quite compare to the chaos that decked the halls as Nike introduced a re-release of an Air Jordan sneaker from 15 years ago, thankfully, but that didn't stop the Oklahoma City area from being snarled in traffic jams on Friday as Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant gave away pairs of his own brand of shoes.

And I still don't get it. But Merry Christmas, everyone.
