Before zooming past bewildered defenders, 13-year-old Laramie Darden flung a cross-court pass like a frozen rope ending in an Andre Roberson transition layup.
On the ensuing offensive possession, Darden barked for cutters then defty lofted a pass over the outstretched arms of defenders for a Kyle Singler floater. Celebratory high-five slaps from Terrance Ferguson followed as she and her teammates reset for a defensive possession.
Last Thursday afternoon at Solid Rock Basketball saw a fiery Darden orchestrate finishes at the rim in a rip-roaring wheelchair hoops scrimmage at the Thunder Fit Clinic, presented by Homeland. The day featured a gauntlet of health and fitness activities for the players of the Oklahoma City Wheels of Thunder—a wheelchair basketball team.
