The Rookie Challenge and Youth Game is just about the most boring game on the planet, but this year's contest was actually a bit entertaining. There were less terrible alley-oop attempts, an actual semblance of plays being run, and one Kevin Wayne Durant. Not only is the kid having a ridiculous season (25.6 ppg, 6.7 reb, 2.8 assts), but he set a Rookie-Sophmore record with 46 points tonight.

Here is the dunk that capped the whole performance off, and his interview after the game....

Not only did he beat the previous record, but he crushed it by ten points (Amare Stoudamire - 36). Just an amazing kid, and he's now on the "must watch" list with Lebron, Kobe, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard. At least that's my list at the moment.

Oh and by the way, as much as I can't stand Lebron as a player, I have to say he was really good on the mic with Kenny and Kevin Harlan. Now excuse me while I pen my next hate column on the lazy, Cavs' Forward.

Seattle Sonics Forward Kevin Durant will be in-studio with EJ, Kenny, and Chuck Thursday Night during halftime of the Spurs-Mavs game. The rook will discuss many topics, but mainly his transition to the NBA.

Weird story, but the Seattle Times is reporting that Kevin Durant's people are upset with Yardbarker. In a post entitled "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF K-SMOOVE VOL TWO!!!" someone by the name of FakeDurant blogs as if he's the soon to be #2 pick in the draft....

Via Sports Business Daily.....

NBA Draft prospect Kevin Durant's reps have asked that a post be removed from Yardbarker.com in which someone claiming to be Durant -- under the moniker "FakeDurant" -- rants about the WNBA, with comments including, "I hope I make enough money in my lifetime to buy the WNBA and shut it down"

Via the FakeDurant Post....

On a more serious note, OMFG I LOVE CHIPOTLE!!! I swear i'm going to open one up in my crib...I seriously can't live without it. I'm going to pay people to run it. Just don't bring that barbacoa in my house...I HATE IT SO MUCH!!!

I took a poop today and the inside of the toilet looked like a smiley face...does that mean i might be gay? FREE BRITNEY (aka MILF)!!!

Umm, everyone....if you can't tell this isn't Kevin Durant I feel sorry for you. I guess it's because Yardbarker has Greg Oden's blog, but seriously people.....it's the internet.

Oh I can't contain my excitement. The best day of the year is only 10 hours away, and AA is packed with drafty goodness. Greg Oden has already been guaranteed to be the first selection, but that's just the beginning. And while I don't want to distract you from the KSK Birthday Celebration....there's just too much stuff to get to. Here's the rundown....

1. The Blogger Mock Draft- Twenty something bloggers...an Internet message board....What could go wrong??? Actually things went pretty good. And instead of comparing our list to the others, yours truly is grading the teams and the Bloggers picks. It's going to be a blast.

2. AA's Official Mock Draft- Here's Last Year's Mock Draft back when I didn't know how to upload pictures. Pretty much got destroyed on that one, and hopefully the same thing can happen this year! And a bonus...it will have officially 10x less foreign players than Chad Ford's!!!

3. A Special Draft Day "You Create The Caption".

4. NBA Draft Live-Blog 2007, 7pm- We'll get this thing kicked off right at 7pm, or before. And everyone....I'm expecting a destruction of the 107 comments from last year. You better be there.

5. Any and every draft day video or item I can bring you.

6. There might be even a ridiculous surprise event for you as well.

The Day is packed my friends. And just to get you completely geeked, I give you "Kevin Durant Apocalypse" and the "Greg Oden Mix Tape"!!!! Whoooo!!!!!

T-T-T-Totally Dude!
