In a play you're going to see 97 times in the next 45 minutes, Kevin Durant threw an alley-oop dunk to Russell Westbrook in the All-Star game and healed the wounds of a broken nation in the process.

Here it is.

The West’s bench mockingly celebrated, and pretty much everyone — broadcasters, Twitter users, people in general, acted like this meant Westbrook liked Durant again. From my significant experience having played basketball in middle school, I can tell you that no, passing the ball to someone does not mean that you like them.

But we can pretend.
