Kevin Durant won the AP Player of the Year Award today, becoming the first Freshman to ever do that. Good for you, you little fuckhead, you've assured yourself of more money at 19 than I will ever see. I AM NOT BITTER.

"The 6-foot-9 swingman finished fourth in the country in scoring (25.8) and rebounding (11.1) while leading the Longhorns to a 25-10 record, the Big 12 tournament championship game and the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Durant, the Big 12 player and freshman of the year, shot 47 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 82 percent from the free-throw line. He averaged 36 minutes per game and led the Longhorns in steals and blocked shots. He had 20 double-doubles and scored at least 30 points a Big 12-record 11 times."

It's honestly just unfair to have this kid in the game. Have you ever played a basketball video game and created a player? Pushed all of his stats up to 99 for no reason? Do your friends allow this?

Well, yes, they do, but only because they immediately respond with their own team of massive, super-talented freakbots. So, my solution to the existence of Kevin Durant is, of course, the immediate creation of armies of genetically altered, superhuman mutants to play basketball. We'll feed them fish heads and name them after colors of the rainbow and our favorite television sitcom characters!

"Hey, Al Borland! Did you eat the basketball? THAT'S A BAD AL BORLAND MUTANT!"

Baseball season is about to start, and as such, teams are trotting out their staff aces with hopes of getting a win on opening day. For the New York Yankees, this means Carl Pavano is starting.

"Carl Pavano will be the New York Yankees' Opening Day starter.

Pavano hasn't pitched in the majors since June 2005 due to a variety of injuries. He will be followed in the rotation by Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina and Kei Igawa. The fifth starter spot has not been filled.

New York manager Joe Torre made the announcement Friday. "

The collective Red Sox fans of the world jointly issued the following statement in response to Torre's announcement:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

For probably the first time in his history, Eddie Griffin caused some irreparable damage that wasn't psychological or emotional. This time, Eddie decided it would sure be zany to WRECK A FUCKING CAR WORTH OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.

"Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $1.5 million into a concrete barrier while practicing at a racetrack Monday, destroying the car but escaping uninjured.

The comedian was practicing for a charity race to promote his upcoming film, "Redline," when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale Speedway. Video footage showed the red sports car screeching before it ricocheted off the barrier with heavy damage to its front."

1.5 Million? Fuck, I'd kill Eddie Griffin for a fucking packet of fruit snacks, man. This aside, the most depressing part of the story isn't even the catastrophic damage to the amazing, priceless car. No, it's the little list of Eddie Griffin's notable film appearances at the bottom, which include(and these are highlights):
1. Undercover Brother
2. Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo
3. Date Movie
4. Norbit

How is he even fucking ALIVE?

Jeff Van Gundy says that he doesn't like that the lottery rewards losing, and wants all of the teams in the NBA to have an equal shot at winning the first pick in the annual college draft.

""I think every team should have an equal chance at winning the lottery, from the best team all the way down," Van Gundy told The Houston Chronicle. "I don't want to accuse anyone of anything. I would say to take away any possible conflict of interest, everyone should have an equal chance at the top pick all the way down. That way there would be absolutely no question by anybody about anything.

"If it's better for the game, they should do it. I never quite understood why losing is rewarded, other than [for] parity.""

Though Van Gundy was extremely articulate in regards to his views on reforming the draft process, OMGSports was unable to get an answer from him as to why he's such a baldy baldface. Some men, it seems, have no respect for the journalistic profession or for repeated late-night prank calls. Baldy.
