UNC guard Lawson honed his game vs. Durant in high school

Posted Mar 23, 2007

It sounds like a comic book, one of those "Superman vs. Batman" match-ups. The fastest player in college basketball vs. the best player, one on one. It happened regularly two years ago, when Ty Lawson and Kevin Durant were juniors at Oak Hill Academy. Lawson went on to become a virtual one-man fast break at North Carolina, which meets Southern Cal in an NCAA tournament Sweet 16 game here tonight. (Virginian-Pilot)
