If All-Star exhibition games are the only NBA-caliber action we get for the next several months, at least they're highlight reels. In an exhibition last night before a near-capacity crowd at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Kevin Durant's Washington D.C.-based Goodman League squad faced Carmelo Anthony's Baltimore-based Melo League team, led by Anthony, LeBron James and Chris Paul. Durant emerged as the star of the game, scoring 59 points, although KD's squad fell 149-141 to Melo and Co.'s.
This game, along with every other stop on Durant's tour-de-you-got-wrecked, has been the only positive news during the contentious NBA lockout. Representatives for the players and owners are meeting today, though, for the first time in a long time.
Hating on LeBron James is a sport too, so we'll point out that Durant and All Defensive Team member @KingJames "went at each other" for most of the game. LeBron, who is getting coached up on his low post game by Hakeem Olajuwon, scored 32. That's weak in comparison. Check out the highlights.
