LeBron Challenges Kevin Durant To Flag Football Game

MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – As the NBA lockout shows no signs of ending anytime soon, several NBA players are looking for new ways to spend their free time.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant chose to head out to Oklahoma State University and play in a flag football game Monday. Miami Heat star LeBron James had previously practiced with his old high school team in Ohio.

Not surprisingly, LeBron and KD had a friendly exchange on Twitter about their second sport.

LeBron asked for an invite to the next flag football game Durant was going to play. Durant didn't miss a beat and said that Team KD35 vs. Team King James should be set up.

No official date has been set for a battle between the two NBA superstars on the gridiron.
