Kevin Durant aka Durantula Going HAM at The Rucker
How could I not post this video of my 2nd favourite basketball player in the world (if you don’t know who the 1st is then your clearly not focused, i’ll give you a hint: The Black Mamba). Anyhow, since the players have SO much extra time on their hands with the NBA going through a Lock Out KD made an appearance at the world famous Harlem Rucker Park. Let’s just say he made his street presence felt, dropping 66 points including a 4th qtr explosion of long range bombs. Is it me or does he not have some “Mamba” in him, i’m just saying.
