    Organizers of the US Fleet Tracking Basketball Invitational announced several additions to the Sunday night game expected to include All-Stars Kevin Durant(notes), LeBron James(notes), Carmelo Anthony(notes), Chris Paul(notes), Amar’e Stoudemire(notes) and Russell Westbrook(notes).

     He CLEARLY got attacked  by a shark and fended it off…. That is the only logical explanation

    Blake Griffin is arguably more popular in OKC than Kevin Durant, so I’m sure the fans will be disappointed.

    Kendrick Perkins playing is interesting. He should actually bring some defensive intensity to the game.

    It is a a non-competive game (non-league), so defence won’t be a big thing. However, Kendrick Perkins and even the likes of LaMarcus Alridge and LeBron James will bring some D.

    “Blake Griffin is arguably more popular in OKC than Kevin Durant.”

    It’s not even close. I was there, and Blake got booed every time he touched the ball when the Clips played in OKC. I was surprised (and glad) that they were so hostile towards him. He’s still popular in OKC, but it was just some good competitive spirit from the crowd.

    Eric Gordon got booed when LAC played here and Danny Granger got cheered, but that doesn’t mean Granger is more popular than Gordon in Indianapolis.
