Just when it seemed like the NBA season was lost the players and owners came to an agreement on a new CBA.  Both sides of this battle took a stand at several points during the negotiations over the last few months.  In the beginning both sides were asking way too much and by the end of it the owners wound up compromising the most.  In the new deal the players will still receive over half the money.  With many teams struggling financially, something had to be done with the money and salary distribution.  For now everyone is happy but it will take some time to discover whether or not enough changes were made to the old CBA to ensure economic stability in the NBA.

On Monday night the NBA's 2 time and reigning scoring champion did a number on his a opponents in a Entertainers Basketball Classic game.  That number was 66 to be exact.  Kevin Durant fulfilled one of his childhood dreams and got to play a game at famous Rucker Park in Harlem.
