Kevin Durant Was In Harlem Last Night

He scored 66 and nearly incited a love riot. I've seen a game at Rucker Park. It's pretty nuts.

Please, enjoy Kevin Durant playing 1 on 5.

Not only can you not stop him, you have no hope of containing him.

That’s crazy. Happened to me at Gregory once. Ha ha.

Glad we did not lose him to Big State.

What this situation really needs is a Bill Little recap.

Loves the game.

Love KD.

I also love how any crowd at the park always has that one dude whose job it is to say,“I told you. I told you. I TOLD YOU!” over and over.

Jeremy Hazzell should have contested KD with his ears.

I wonder how often Sam Presti calls up Kevin Pritchard to thank him.

Scip,

He always seems to be in attendance with his brother/best friend, the guy who screams “It’s over” and wildly gesticulating throat slashes.

Who knew the playground was so cliche?

Westbrook can’t understand why KD keeps getting the ball.

by PatronSaint on Aug 4, 2011 11:26 AM CDT reply actions

He might have a future in that line of work, huh? The amazing thing is he actually has room to improve. That’ll be fun to watch, unless he’s dismantling your favorite team.

As for Westbrook, all he needs to understand is that Durant makes a higher percentage of shots from everywhere and has a significant advantage in height and wingspan. The defense fears one more than the other for a reason: Durant is a nightmare match-up. Russell is a great second or third scoring option (depending on roster configuration), but he needs to accept that he’s not going to be the primary while Kevin is on the court.
