Presented here is a 2012 NBA All-Star Game Western Conference jersey issued to 2012 NBA All-Star Game MVP Kevin Durant. The jersey was prepared for the former Oklahoma City Thunder forward Durant during the 2012 NBA All-Star Game weekend held on February 24-26th, 2012 in Orlando. Durant, who made his third All-Star Game appearance, did not wear this jersey during the midseason classic between the Western and Eastern Conferences. Durant would score a game and team-high 36 points, leading the Western Conference to a 152-149 victory over the Eastern Conference at the Amway Center on February 26th. Durant would earn the NBA All-Star Game MVP for his efforts that saw the Western Conference’s 88 points in the first half become an All-Star Game record.
The presented game issued Western Conference red mesh pullover jersey features white piping on the sleeves and collar. Two thick gold stripes appear on the jersey’s lateral sides. Two screen-printed gold stars appear on the chest.

A gold “ADIDAS” logo and a gold with a red-trimmed star with the NBA “Logoman” inside appear on the left shoulder. An NBA AUTHENTICS tag labeled “EVERY PLAYER. EVERY GAME OTH01041” appears on the jersey’s left front tail. An Adidas NBA AUTHENTICS size “3XL” manufacturer’s tag with a “LENGTH+4” flag appears on the jersey’s left front tail.
