Do you really want to live forever? Forever and ever? Forever young. I wanna be
forever young. -Jay-Z
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What’s crack-a-lacking sports fans? I’ll tell you what’s crack-a-lacking. Kevin Durant is crack-a-lacking. Russell Westbrook is crack-a-lacking too. Who says youth is wasted on the young? Ok, ok, George Bernard Shaw said it. Clearly, Mr. Shaw never saw Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook run the rock. Every day these kids just get better and better. Anything you can be, I can be greater. Sooner or later, I’m greater than you. I’m picking sooner. In fact, I’m picking right now. Don’t look now folks, the Oklahoma City Thunder have arrived. Here I am baby. Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!
Last night, Kevin Durant signed, sealed and delivered 39 points and 10 rebounds. Last night, Russell Westbrook signed, sealed and delivered 30 points and 13 assists. Together, like Sam the butcher bringing Alice the meat, they signed, sealed and delivered a victory against the Sacramento Kings. Hooray Durant and Westbrook!
You may ask yourself, what is the significance of those numbers? You may ask yourself, what is that beautiful house? You may ask yourself, where does that highway lead to? I’m here to tell you, that highway leads to this: Those numbers signify the first game in NBA history in which teammates – each age 21 or younger – each had a 30/10 game. Sweet sassy molassy!
No Virginia, the Oklahoma City Thunder are not going to win a championship this year. But listen to my main man Leo Tolstoy. Leo Tolstoy says, “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” Put those two warriors alongside these two young warriors and what do you get? You got something special. Rings and things special. Something very special indeed.

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
