In this day and age, the NBA is littered with arrogant punks like Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum and thugs like J.R. Smith. The "good" guys are few and far between, but Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant takes it to a different level. He gave a million of his own money to help the the relief efforts after a tornado ripped through Moore, Oklahoma.
But the cool thing is, Durant did not do it for publicity like a lot of athletes have done, but he did it because that is just who he is. If you know anything about him, what he is doing to help the relief efforts of this tornado is not surprising at all. It would be more surprising if he didn't try to help out.
This is not the first time he has done such a thing. In 2010, he donated $100,000 to the Athlete Relief Fund for Haiti. He is a generous player and this will not be the last time he will make a generous donation to help in relief efforts.
With all of these players out getting in trouble with the law or getting high on a consistent basis, it certainly is nice to have a player as unselfish off the court as he is on it like Durant. If I had a child, I would love it if he said Durant was his role model.
