NBA leading scorer Kevin Durant is feuding with rap star The Game over a three-point shot the hip-hop star swished from NBA distance..
According to TMZSports.com, Game claims he bet Durant that if he made the shot the league MVP would have to donate $20,000 worth of sneakers to the rapper's youth basketball program.

TMZ reported that Durant now claims he never made any such wager, and it seems strange that he would renege on any such promise given his history of charitable contributions.
The 25-year-old Durant recently donated $1 million to the Red Cross to aid for storm and tornado victims in the Oklahoma area and in 2010 he contributed $100,000 to the Athlete Relief Fund for Haiti.
In 2012, Durant also founded The Kevin Durant Family Foundation, which regularly raises money to support after-school, summer and educational programs.
"It's an honor to play in the NBA, and I hope that I can use some of the attention given to me because of my work on the court to raise awareness and resources for the things that I know personally can make a difference in the lives of kids,"he said in a 2012 statement. "My mom believed in me, faced the many challenges of being a single parent, and she made sure that I had good grades and was involved in activities that helped make me become the person I am today. I'm excited to launch my foundation and look forward to making a difference."
In leading the Thunder to the Western Conference finals, Durant led the league in scoring this season, averaging 32 points, seven rebounds and six assists. At one point, Durant scored at least 25 points in 41 straight games.
