Oklahoma City Thunder All Star Kevin Durant has been a beloved NBA Player that Thunder fans have embraced with open arms, it seems the feeling is mutual... Recently Oklahoma City was devastated by a tornado that ripped through the City killing hundreds and destroying an entire community. At the communities lowest point the Thunder super star donated one million dollars to a town in turmoil. Kevin Durant is helping a city recover from a horrific tragedy, his actions have caught many people off guard in a wonderful way. Professional athletes are not usually the first to reach out especially with their own money but Kevin has proven he not only plays in OKC his heart is all in... |

After visiting the devastation he was completely speechless but the families that were there to greet him could not say or thank him enough for the support he has provided their community. Kevin Durant is helping a city recover and also leading the way for other big name athletes. The Los Angeles Dodgers All Star Matt Kemp, who grew up in Oklahoma, also pledged two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and praised Kevin Durant for his contribution to his home town. I have to say this story and the acts of kindness touched me deeply, I have worked with several high profile athletes and it was like pulling teeth to get them to reach in the own pocket...
Today's professional athletes make an enormous amount of money and live very comfortable lives but its events like the tornado in OKC that bring out the best in the athletes we love and support. Kevin Durant is helping a city recover because he can and cares and he should be honored as the hero he is to all those that will be helped by his generosity. We are all quick to condemn athletes when they do stupid things we should be just a fast to praise the efforts when they show acts of kindness...
