The Ten Kevin Durant Cards Guaranteed to Leave You Feeling . . . Thunderstruck

[The Question]

Denotatively speaking,*the word “thunderstruck” means to*be astonished or dumbfounded.

It’s that jaw-dropping feeling you got when you first heard, for example, that*NBA superstar Kevin Durant*dropped*66 points in a game at Harlem’s historic Rucker Park earlier this summer. Or when you watched him lead the NBA in scoring — twice. Or when you watched him score 39 points against Memphis in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals in May.



It’s also the feeling you’ll get*in just a few seconds when you see, for the first time, each of the 10 cards in the special*Thunderstruck set slated for inclusion in Panini America’s September release of 2010-11 Elite Black Box Basketball.

The unique trading-card tribute to Durant, one of*four Panini-exclusive spokesmen alongside Kobe Bryant, Blake Griffin and John Wall, is sure to score big — like the man himself — with fans who never tire of his*majestic on-court feats. Each of the 10 cards in Thunderstruck features*a bold, beautiful signature — unmistakable evidence that Durant*is just as brilliant with a paint pen as he is in the paint — and is limited to just 10 copies.

For those of you prepared to be thunderstruck by Durant one more time, here’s the can’t-miss gallery:
