Matt will be doing a four part NBA preview before the season kicks off on Christmas day. This is part one.
I love the NBA. I love Christmas. I love the NBA on Christmas. So it brought me indescribable amounts of joy when Roy woke me up on the morning of Saturday November 26th to tell me that the lockout was over. The effects of the festivities that took place the night before were immediately overwhelmed with a feeling of pure joy.
Ever since KD entered the NBA, I have been one of his most adoring fans. Perhaps it is just my DC bias, but I honestly feel like he is one of the nicest, most genuine, and most humble players currently playing professional basketball---oh, and he's also pretty good.
In the midst of an ongoing NBA lockout (which hopefully will come to a conclusion within the next couple weeks), it is understandable that players would try to find things to keep themselves busy, whether it be pick-up basketball games, other business ventures, or in this case, flag football. I spotted this gem over on NFL.com about Kevin Durant lacing up his cleats for a little flag football matchup with the boys of Sigma Nu at Oklahoma St just for the hell of it. He had a pretty successful day out on the field, while also giving a group of guys the time of their lives out there in Stillwater, OK.
Just another reason why I'll always root for a guy like Durant. Check the video out below or check out the article on NFL.com here.
