he could hurt himself shooting in the gym tomorrow. what's the point? it's not like these games are as competitive as NBA games. he should be able to rather easily take care of business.

There are poor people in Ethiopia and this idiot has the nerve to play summer basketball? What a selfish piece of utter garbage.

Seriously. Al Horford's playing as well.

He may not have the hype that Durant had but he was quietly the more efficient overall player on a team that won nearly twice as many games and was a pivotal piece of a team that pushed the Celtics to a 7-game series.

Horford was in the top 75 of efficiency in the league last year unlike Durant who didn't crack the top 80.

The OP acts like Durant's rookie season was the equivalent of Lebron's 2nd season in the league where he became an All-NBA talent.
