For the handful of you basketball FCBers, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! I actually jumped out of my computer chair!

In all honesty..... shouldnt he be doing this?? Isnt this something an NBA Elite player should do against lesser competition? If you go all Allen Iverson on the place and take every shot.... is 66 really that far fetched?

He did make some long shots... but I dont recall seeing many hands in his face.

He told you. He told you. He told you. He told you. He told you.

Why was that guy wearing a championship belt?

An NBA player hitting 3's with next to no defense over some guys on the playground.
I guess I think this is like me scoring 66 on a bunch of 9 year olds.

Everybody else on his team was 0/0 from the field.

I guess I am just too old and Rucker Park still means something to me. What Durant and John Lucas III did last week at Rucker was legendary. I personally believe that most NBA players are afraid to play at Rucker for fear of being humiliated... it's a different game, I know. But you really have to be able to play to shine...

By the way, doesn't Durant play against "lesser" opponents pretty much every day of the year except for 3 or 4? It would be tough for him to find someone "equal" or "better"...

The score was like 146-143, so there was the typical "streetball D" being played, but other players definitely scored, too.
