STORY BY DARNELL MAYBERRY, THE OKLAHOMAN ayne Murdoch sat camped under the basket, on the cusp of capturing a potentially picture- perfect portrait. He steadied his lens as the three-on-two fast break crept closer to him. He held his position even when the action became too close for comfort. Suddenly, Kevin Durant slammed into him, the contact from two Charlotte Bobcats defend- ers sending him crashing to the floor following a reverse layup attempt. Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar, banged his head at the end of the play. Mur- doch was knocked over on impact. Durant rolled around in pain while rubbing the back of his head. Yet, with his noggin throbbing, and his team nursing a tenuous one-point lead in the second half, Durant still had the presence of mind to turn his attention to the well-being of someone else, something more significant than the scoreboard. He asked Murdoch if he was all right. “It kind of cracked me up because I was really concerned about him,” Murdoch said. “I was like, ‘Yeah I’m OK. Are you OK?’” Murdoch is the NBA’s team photographer for the Thunder. In his 31 years of taking NBA photos, he’s been barreled over by everyone from Hakeem Olajuwon to Karl Malone. The Mailman actually sat on Murdoch with no regard while arguing a call with a referee. And Murdoch’s seen much worse, like the infamous image of Dennis Rodman kicking a cameraman in the groin following a crash in Minnesota — and then laughing about it. But after his collision with Durant, Murdoch joined a rapidly growing group that has experienced the kindness of Kevin Durant. It’s a trait that Durant displays daily, but one that runs deeper than anything fans see on tele- vision. Now in his fourth season, Durant’s congeniality off the court has become as captivating as anything he’s THE OKLAHOMAN CHRIS LANDSBERGER, BY PHOTO capable of delivering on it. His compassion is all-inclusive. Custodial workers inside Oklahoma City Arena receive the same respect as team chairman Clay Bennett. Fans have been extended the same hos- pitality Durant reserves for friends and family. And it’s no act. Ask anyone who’s been around Durant about his genuineness and they’ll assure you it’s legit. “He’s always had a maturity about him of being that positive role model,” said Utah guard Earl Watson, a teammate of Durant’s during his first two NBA seasons. “He didn’t come into the league as an immature individual, which is rare for someone so young.” Watch Durant work a room, taking time for strangers like they’re old friends, and you’ll forget the young man is still just 22. Most his age haven’t been out of college a full year. Durant, meanwhile, has the weight of a professional sports franchise and, to an extent, a city on his back. And he’s making carrying them look easy. “He’s such a great ambassador to not only our organization but the entire NBA off the floor,” said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. Durant is a pro athlete without a sliver of a sense of entitlement. He has an admitted passion for pleasing and “wanting to see people happy.” Of the few times Durant turns down requests, he generally is being ushered away by his handlers. Even then, Durant apologizes and explains he has to go while being hurried away.

    NBA-TOPTHEMA WARUM DER KLASSISCHE POINT GUARD VOM AUSSTERBEN BEDROHT IST ANALYSE AUF DER FALSCHEN.. FAHRTE TEXT TIMO BÖCKENHÜSER Was haben Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, John Wall und Eric Bledsoe gemeinsam? Sie sind alle Top-Playmaker. Sie sind alle maximal 25 Jahre alt. Und sie verbindet alle ein Schicksal: Ihre Körper kapitulieren schon jetzt vor ihrer brachialen Athletik. Denn die neue Point-Guard- Generation spielt ein sehr riskantes Spiel! s ist nur ein kleines Rechteck. Gerade mal 5,80 Meter lang und 4,90 Meter breit und doch ein Bereich, der im Basketball immense Bedeutung hat. Denn jene meist bunt gefärbten 28,42 Quadratmeter markieren an beiden Enden des Courts die Zone. Von jeher ist „The Paint“, wie der Amerikaner sie nennt, das Reich der Großen, der Büffel unter den Basket- E ballern. Länge beschützt den Korb, daran ist nicht zu rütteln. Deshalb beherrschen Big Men die Zone, kleine Spieler haben vor allem im Set-Play dort wenig zu lachen. Die langen Leute lauern darauf, dass Guards es wagen, in ihr Reich einzudringen und zum Korb zu ziehen. Dann prallen Welten aufeinander. Bulldozer auf Smarts. Büffel auf Gazellen. Dwight Howards auf Eric Bledsoes. Ein starker Drive zum Ring heißt dorthin gehen, wo es wehtut. Trainer lieben diese aggressiven, tollkühnen Akte, denn sie bedeuten, dass ihre Backcourt-Player nicht nur auf Distanzwürfe setzen, die weniger Erfolgsaussichten haben als Layups. Und das hat zusammen mit den Regeländerungen wie Defensive-Three-Seconds und Handchecking, die für mehr Freiräume in der Zone und dadurch auch für mehr Penetrationen über die Mitte gesorgt haben, zu einem gefährlichen Umdenken im Basketball geführt.

  • The Maturation of Russell Westbrook
    The Maturation of Russell Westbrook Khris Matthews-Marion Contributing Writer, Sports Radio America “I think Russell’s demeanor and his aggression is what the DNA of a team should be. He’s aggressive and he’s unapologetic about the way he plays. “I believe Russell has the same mentality that I have had, which is that criticism doesn’t matter.” -- Kobe Bryant on Russell Westbrook’s development. Oklahoma City – When he was drafted fourth overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the 2008 NBA draft, analysts struggled to come up with a player comparison for him. Marc Jackson compared him to Gary Payton and because of his rebounding ability; the media tabbed Rajon Rondo as the best example of what he could turn into. Still, others thought he was built in the Steve Francis mold. However, it may be the Black Mamba, in terms of intensity and eye- popping athletic ability, who may be the closest and best equivalent when looking at the future of Russell Westbrook. Kobe Bryant is arguably the greatest player the NBA has seen in the last thirty years not named Michael Jordan. He has been the heartbeat of LA's most historic team for almost two decades and has hoisted the Larry O'Brien trophy five separate times. His comments during ESPN Grantland's Basketball Hour were revealing about the level of respect he has for a man who is walking down a similar path. His experience, success, basketball acumen and specifically his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal made him a perfect candidate to judge the maturation of man who is escaping the shadow of an established star.

  • Hawks' Trio Headlines Reserves for 2015 Nba All
    HAWKS’ TRIO HEADLINES RESERVES FOR 2015 NBA ALL-STAR GAME -- Duncan Earns 15 th Selection, Tied for Third Most in All-Star History -- NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2015 – Three members of the Eastern Conference-leading Atlanta Hawks -- Al Horford , Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague -- headline the list of 14 players selected by the coaches as reserves for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, the NBA announced today. Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors earned his first All-Star selection, joining teammate and starter Stephen Curry to give the Western Conference-leading Warriors two All-Stars for the first time since Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway in 1993. The 64 th NBA All-Star Game will tip off Sunday, Feb. 15, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The game will be seen by fans in 215 countries and territories and will be heard in 47 languages. TNT will televise the All-Star Game for the 13th consecutive year, marking Turner Sports' 30 th year of NBA All- Star coverage. The Hawks’ trio is joined in the East by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat, the Chicago Bulls’ Jimmy Butler and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving . This is the 11 th consecutive All-Star selection for Wade and the 10 th straight nod for Bosh, who becomes only the third player in NBA history to earn five trips to the All-Star Game with two different teams (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Garnett). Butler, who leads the NBA in minutes (39.5 per game) and has raised his scoring average from 13.1 points in 2013-14 to 20.1 points this season, makes his first All-Star appearance.
