The Drew League vs. Goodman League may not have been as star-studded as The South Florida All-Star Classic but it definitely provided excitement.
Titled “The Big Payback” this go round, the home team won, 151-144. Kevin Durant scored 50 points, John Wall had 55 plus, He hit his dougie (so what it’s old, he’s one of the best at it, so he gets a pass) and Durant’s Thunder teammate, James Harden-who was playing for the Drew League, had 48.
The Goodman team was comprised of Durant and Wall plus, Rudy Gay- who looks like he’s back from last season’s injury and surgery, King’s forward Donte Green, Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley and others. While the L.A. team was fairly stacked; Bucks guard Brandon Jennings, Wizards guard, Nick Young, Trevor Ariza, Matt Barnes, the #2 draft pick Derrick Williams to name a few.
On hand to watch, WNBA legend and Sparks star, Tina Thompson, former Lakers and Clippers great, Norm Nixon, Baron Davis and Russell Westbrook.
