The graphics of the game is more advanced than ever. The sweat on players’ bodies is hyper-realistic. Furthermore, the animation used for their faces has drastically improved as well.
However, the cutaway in this clip still feels like a video game. Griner is animatronic when cheering, and the quick cutaway is comical in its animation. You can still tell it is Griner though.
There is no word on whether Griner is a big fan of Durant in real life. The two share a home arena in Phoenix at the Footprint Center.
