    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Seattle Times -
    <u>Kevin Durant</u> and <u>Jeff Green</u> will be going back to school this summer.

    "Man, if some of my teachers could hear me talking like this they would get a kick out of this," said Durant. "But I'm not going to lie. I miss school. When I left, I was glad that I didn't have to go to class anymore and study hall, but I kind of miss it a little bit."

    Durant and Green will not play with the Sonics summer league team in Orlando because of their decision to take classes.</div>

    Wow, who woulda thunk it. Kevin Durant's going back to school to take classes. That's so...strange.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Durant sheepishly admits that he was never a book worm and he laughed when describing plans to attend summer classes at Texas where he starred as a freshman before forgoing the final three years of his NCAA eligibility and declaring for the NBA draft.</div>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Green expects to spend most of the summer in Washington, D.C., and is organizing a family vacation to the Bahamas.</div>
    Doesn't exactly say for Green, but you can come to the conclusion he's going back to Gtown.

    It is pretty cool actually. I think it is a great example to kids that even millionaire atheletes believe that college is fun and important.

    Good for them. I mean, what are they going to do after their careers are over, or if they have some career ending injury at a young age?

    Besides, less chance for them to get injured if they don't play.
