Kevin Durant dropped back and lofted a fade toward the back of the endzone. Right on target – his fourth touchdown pass of the game.

“The Redskins need a quarterback,” Durant’s friend Randy Williams yelled, “and we may have just found him.”

And why not. With the NBA lockout dragging into its fourth month, there isn’t much to do for the superstar.

And that’s why he found himself in Stillwater, on a random Monday night, playing quarterback and safety for Oklahoma State’s Sigma Nu flag football team.

It all started early in the day, with a simple tweet from Durant.

Durant: “This lockout is really boring..anybody playing flag football in Okc..I need to run around or something!”

George Overbey, a member of Sigma Nu, saw the tweet after class and decided to Tweet back at his favorite player, not expecting a response.

“About five minutes later I get a retweet from him,” Overbey said. “He goes, ‘Can you play?’ And I go, ‘Can you catch?'”

Through direct message, specifics were drawn out and numbers were exchanged. And there Durant was, outside of Overbey’s house, ready to put on his Sigma Nu 35 KD jersey.

“He picked me and my buddy up,” Overbey said. “He’s got a big, big van. He didn’t have a limo…When his car pulled up to my house, I was like, ‘this is really happening.'”

And once Durant made his way to the intramural field, word got out quickly – there was an NBA superstar in Stillwater.

By the time Durant had picked off the first of his three interceptions, the field was packed. College kids filling the sidelines, policemen patrolling the area.

“This is probably the coolest moment of my life,” Overbey said. “It was a blast. I’m pretty stoked…When is Lebron or Kobe — the best basketball player in the world going to come up here and hang out with Stillwater kids. It says a lot about Oklahoma City. It says a lot about Kevin Durant. We love him here.”

As for Durant, he seemed pretty pleased with his performance.

From his Twitter: “I had soooo much fun at Oklahoma st playing flag football! Shoutout my new buddy (George Overbey) for inviting me! I threw 4 tds and had 3 ints!!”
