NEW YORK -- Jason Collins second stint with the Brooklyn
Nets will last at least 10 more days. The Nets signed
Collins to a second 10-day contract Wednesday, and he
will be in uniform when they host the Memphis Grizzlies.
Collins became the NBAs first openly gay player when he
signed his first deal Feb. 23. Teams can sign players to
two 10-day contracts, and then have to sign them for the
rest of the season if they want to keep them. Collins has
appeared in all five games since his return, with three
points and five rebounds in 36 minutes. The 13-year
veteran played for the Nets from 2001-08.

go to script, Bryant couldnt help reflecting on the work
necessary to get back on that court -- and all the months
of steady labour ahead to reclaim his game. Bryant had
nine points and eight rebounds in his season debut, but
Amir Johnson scored a career-high 32 points in the trade-
depleted Toronto Raptors 106-94 victory over Los Angeles
on Sunday night.OKLAHOMA CITY -- In accepting his first
MVP award, Oklahoma Citys Kevin Durant made a point of
sharing the honour with those who made it possible. In a
soul-baring speech that lasted more than 25 minutes,
Durant fought back tears several times while thanking
each of his teammates, the coaches, support staff and
team executives, and finally his family. The emotional
outpouring culminated with a tribute to his mother, Wanda
Pratt, and the sacrifices she made, the inspiration she
provided while raising Durant and his brother in the
suburbs of Washington, D.C. "You made us believe," Durant
said to Pratt, who was at the ceremony in Edmond,
Oklahoma. "Kept us off the street. Put clothes on our
backs, food on the table. When you didnt eat, you made
sure we ate. You sacrificed for us. Youre the real MVP."
Durant explained that Pratt was a single mother with two
boys, and though times were tough while growing up, Pratt
always thought something better was ahead. Durant said to
appreciate moments like these, he often looks back to
gain perspective. "One of the best memories I had is when
we moved into our first apartment," he said as tears
streamed down Pratts face. "No bed, no furniture, and we
just all sat in the living room and hugged each other,
cause thats when we all thought we made it." Hes really
made it now. The young man who said he was told he "wasnt
supposed to be here" won the NBAs top individual honour
Tuesday, receiving 119 first-place votes. Miamis LeBron
James, who had won the last two MVP awards and four of
the previous five, finished second with six first-place
votes, and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers was
third. Durant, 25, called it "surreal" and at one point,
as he thanked his teammates, he stopped and said, "I dont
know why Im crying so much." "Everything in my life, I
had to take it," Durant said. "Theyre not going to give
it to you out of sympathy. I wouldnt want it any other
way. This was another case, if I wanted to win the MVP, I
had to go take it. I felt that this was the year I did
that." During a speech in which Durant revealed a
humility and vulnerability rarely displayed by a
professional athlete, he also drew some laughs. "I could
walk in and have a terrible day and I could see Hasheem
(Thabeet) smiling at me, at 7-foot-3 with small pants
on," he said. "That would change my day." Durant
mentioned qualities about each teammate, showing respect
for the veterans who challenge him and the rookies who
inspire him to do things the right way because they look
up to him. "I go home and I think about that stuff, man,"
he said. "When youve got people behind you, you can do
whatever." Durant won his fourth scoring crown in five
years by averaging 32 points. The 6-foot-9 forward helped
the Thunder go 59-23, second-best in the leaggue, despite
playing much of the season without three-time All-Star
Russell Westbrook because of a nagging knee
injury.dddddddddddd "Hes basically put himself in front
of everybody else in the league and shown that hes the
best player in the world," Westbrook said at the end of
the regular season. James agreed, saying Monday: "Much
respect to him and he deserves it. He had a big-time MVP
season." Durants run of 41 consecutive games this season
with at least 25 points was the third-longest streak in
NBA history. "It was a two-man race, and then toward the
end, it was kind of a no-brainer," Griffin said. James
averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists while
shooting nearly 57 per cent from the field. Griffin
averaged 24.1 points and 10.1 rebounds. Durant scored at
least 40 points 14 times. He also averaged 7.4 rebounds
and a career-high 5.5 assists while shooting 50 per cent
from the field. While Westbrook was out after his most
recent knee surgery, Durant averaged 35 points and 6.3
assists as the Thunder went 20-7 and remained among the
leagues elite. Teammates and opponents say Durant became
a more complete player this season. They praised him for
improving his court vision, consistently making the extra
pass and moving more efficiently without the ball. "I
think we take it for granted," teammate Nick Collison
said. "To be able to stay on for long periods of time --
have to cut hard, catch the ball in the right spot and
defend on the other end -- is tough to do. To be able to
show that shows that he has an edge to him. He doesnt
take a night off." Though Durants consistency stood out
this season, he had several exceptional games. He scored
48 points on Jan. 4 at Minnesota, then scored 48 again
two games later at Utah. He scored a career-high 54
points in a home win against Golden State on Jan. 17 and
two games later scored 46 at home in a victory against
Portland. Two games after that, he had a triple-double --
32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists -- in a win at
Philadelphia, and he followed that with 41 points in a
victory over Atlanta. He scored 51 points at Toronto on
March 21 in a staggering 53 minutes and hit the game-
winning 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in double
overtime. He capped it off in the season finale by
scoring 21 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter against
Detroit and winning the game with a dunk with 16.5
seconds left. The Thunder overcame a 10-point deficit in
the quarter to clinch the No. 2 seed in the Western
Conference playoffs. "I put in so much work and so many
people helped me," he said. "I feel like we all won it.
Our equipment guy gave me a hug today and said, This is
my first MVP, and I thought about that. And I said, Yeah,
this is our first MVP. I couldnt have done it without the
teammates, without the trainer. Everybody. We all just
did this together."
