Basketball: NBA superstar Durant says Indian basketball needs a Yao to beat cricket

NBA behemoth Kevin Durant set a world record in India on Friday but admitted it will take a lot more for basketball to overtake cricket in the country. Durant said that India will have to be patient and find its own Yao Ming to become a world basketball force as it is in cricket. On a visit to India that will take him to the Taj Mahal on Saturday, the Golden State Warriors NBA champion staged a training session with 3,459 Indian children that the NBA said would go into the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest basket lesson ever held.
