No one has more to lose from the current work stoppage than J.J. Barea, the breakout star of the NBA Finals. In the meantime, he’s “hanging out with his girlfriend— a former Miss Universe—on the tropical island where he’s a hero.”

“I just want to hoop,” Durant told Michael Lee of the Washington Post on Saturday. “I do it for everybody back here that really don’t get a chance to see me that much. I just want to break the barrier. A lot of NBA players don’t do it as often as I do it now, before. Guys may come, play one or two games, but I play all summer, so I just want to break the barrier, show them that I’m regular.”
