http://dailycurrant.com/2014/09/17/kanye-scores-106-points-against-wheelchair-basketball-team/A charity basketball game didnt go exactly as planned yesterday when Kanye West scored 106 points against a team of handicapped children in wheelchairs....
The Basketball Wheelchair Charity for Cancer event pitted disabled middle school children against Kanye and his entourage. Kanyes team seemed hesitant to play as hard since they were not also in wheelchairs as originally planned.
Organizers said, Both teams were supposed to be playing in wheelchairs but Kanyes camp said Mr. West would be playing the normal way. The kids were initially excited to play basketball with one of their favorite musicians but once the game started, they knew it wasn't going to be fun.
Eighth grader Tommy Smith told reporters, We play with shorter basketball hoops and he was dunking all over us. The smack talk got out of hand and some of our players started crying.

But, it just has to be. The obvious little twists that make an Onion story obvious didn't seem to show up here.
