Kevin Durant Plays Intramural Flag Football With Oklahoma State Students

"There are still non-believers when it comes to Kevin Durant.

They roll their eyes when they read yet another story describing how humble and down to earth the Oklahoma City Thunder's scoring champ is. They think writers are blowing smoke. They think the tales about his character are all just manufactured by the media. They think what they read about Durant is too good to be true.

But you can't make up what Durant did Monday night.

Citing boredom caused by the 4-month-old NBA lockout, Durant made the short trek north to Stillwater, where he joined a group of Oklahoma State University students for a game of intramural flag football. Playing quarterback and corner, Durant stepped in as a surprising celebrity ringer and dominated while helping his team to victory, according to those in attendance. In the process, Durant turned Halloween 2011 in Stillwater into an unforgettable night. A night that folks in a crowd that started off meager but quickly grew into an estimated count of 500 will someday tell their children about. And those who witnessed Durant on the field Monday night left with an understanding the non-believers somehow still lack: Kevin Durant is just a different breed."
