[h2]Durant drops 284 points in grade school game[/h2]

It’s official: Kevin Durant cannot stop playing basketball.

Two days after lighting up Rucker Park in Harlem, and a night removed from scoring 41 points in a Pro-City tournament game, Durant continued his summer ball tour by torching a bunch of fifth grade kids in Wisconsin.

Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar scored an insane 284 points to help his team, the Holy Apostles Chargers, destroy the Elmwood Cougars, 320-30. Durant’s box score was one for the ages. He connected on 112-of-126 shots overall, including 24-of-29 three-point attempts, and made 36-of-38 free throws. He also grabbed 18 rebounds, had four assists and blocked 25 shots Bill Murray style.

Hundreds of soccer moms were turned away at the doors, undoubtedly itching to witness the NBA’s two-time scoring champ, who had a 66-point effort at Rucker Park on Monday that persuaded fans to rush the court.

Durant likes to play in leagues throughout the country during the summer, but he was non-committal about suiting up Wednesday night at a local YMCA wheelchair game. He said he would have to wait and see while adding, “I just try to get better man. I like to play in every part of the country to see how the ballers are. I had fun.

KD should just knock on people's doors and play pick up ball with them until the Lockout is resolved.

Stop. Kobe has also scored 60+ against various NBA teams.

Including 63 in 3 qtrs v Dallas which was more impressive than the 81 but people always point to the 81 to credit his ability even tho it came against a d league team minus Jalen Rose

Props were given... 

 

[brad fonzworth]

KD is at Dyckman right now..

 

[grittyman20]

This is a smart marketing tool by Team Durant.

While my first comment was clearly sarcastic, I really would like an explanation for this phenomenon in mostly urban settings.

Why is it necessary to interrupt the game and literally storm the court? Do people feel the need to be seen or make something bigger than it was? I honestly don't understand. To me it'd be annoying and begs the question "Why are people doing this?".

And I'm not trying to stir the pot, honestly, but this is the god honest truth; for as many times this happens, 9.9/10 seem to be completely comprised of blacks. Why is that?

The man makes a good point
  

these urban settings you speak of consist of fans that may have ever seen an NBA player in person, or been able to go to an actual NBA game.  These summer circuits; Rucker, Dyckman etc are all they get to really experience.   It's just pure excitement and enjoyment that they may have never experienced before, so you can't blame them for wanting to sit down with their hands and legs crossed while watching Kevin Durant show out.  Is that you Mr. Stern?

I always felt the same. I think it has to do with these people wanting to be a part of whats going on without actually being able to ball.

Sam Mitchell let that happen on purpose, Jalen has spoken about this, the 81 point thing was purley a Sam Mitchell teaching the players a lesson, they were playing zone, they did not double and they let him score 81, it was disgusting.

So Michael Beasley is at Dyckman with Kevin Durant and apparently mushed someone in the face for talking trash.
