Via Boston Herald "I wanted to win as bad as anything in the world. I cried about it every day," said Durant, who added that the mourning lasted about a week, a little less than the time it took to physically recover from the NBA grind.
Asked which would mean more to him, the NBA Finals or the Olympics, Durant said, "Winning a gold medal would mean more because we lost in the Finals. ... To be labeled as the best team in the world would be a great feeling."
Bleeding Cool reports that a copy of The X-Men #1 has been sold at The Heritage auction for a record breaking $492,937.50. The CGC 9.8 copy of the landmark comic book is the highest graded copy known to be in existence, with only one other listed on the CGC census. This decimated the previous record price that a CGC 9.6 copy went for back in 2011 ($200,000) and the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby comic now holds the honour of being the second highest price paid for a Silver Age comic. However, it's still a long way behind the $1.1 million paid for a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 9.6 in March 2011 (as you will hopefully know, that featured the first appearance of Spider-Man).... Also sold at the auction was the original Spider-Man #1 cover art by Todd McFarlane for $358,500 and the original cover art for McFarlane's Amazing Spider Man #328 for $657,250.
