Kevin Durant, who shot a career-best 51% from the field this season, connects well on Js; now, he's well-connected with Jay-Z. On Monday, Durant signed with the rapper's nascent agency, Roc Nation Sports, becoming the first male hoopster to hop to the hip-hopper. Our reaction to him flowing to the fast flower: Jigga what?
Durant is the most unassuming superstar in The Association, but maybe that's the point. Perhaps he wants to raise his profile, so the bashful basketball player teams with the brash businessman (in this partnership, Durant brings the "big," Jay-Z the "pimpin'").
Durant isn't in line for a new contract until after the 2015-2016 campaign and currently holds seven endorsement deals (even making bread from Panini America, which weirdly doesn't make bread), so this seems to be a move made to boost his popularity, not profitability. Still, there has to be an easier way to hang out with Beyonce.

The All-Star-Spangled Banner
It's our birthday, so we're obviously an All-Star,* but among The Association's equivalents there were several fresh-faced selections that were told to "get their game on, go play." A half-dozen newbies, one practically a baby, will have reason to rejoice like LeBron James did while visiting the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: "Mama, I made it!"
Six, all substitutes chosen by the coaches, were first-time selections, including James Harden, who will have the honor of hooping in his home arena, since the game is being held in Houston. The other five hail from the East, where defenders Tyson Chandler and Joakim Noah were picked to engage in an exhibition in which D is faked more poorly than Beyonce singing at the Inaguration^. Kyrie Irving, at the tender age of 20, might be made to sit at the kids' table, considering he isn't allowed adult beverages yet.
Rajon Rondo, voted a starter by the fans, whose dynamic dishing was almost designed for the gaudy game, will have to be replaced. Although we say the spot should belong to big like Brook Lopez or jammin' Josh Smith, if the commish goes with another guard, the flashy Brandon Jennings or the foxy Paul Pierce (to be clear, we mean cunning, not cute) are adequate alternates, but what about a magnanimous man in D.C., who convivially communicated to LeBron, "It's your world." The President graciously gave LeBron the floor, why not return the favor?

^Senator Schumer's approval of Ms. Knowles couldn't sync any lower. He can't see her halo.
