As we all Know, Durant’s
extraordinary talent led his
home team, the Oklahoma
City Thunder, all the way to
the 2012 NBA Finals. On this
special day, Durant also showed
his gift of basketball to all the
guests present. The host asked
if there was anyone who was
willing to have a friendly match
with Durant, but nobody dared
to accept the challenge and
compete with him. When Durant
saw this, he encouraged his
fans: “Come on, you guys can
do it!” Most of the fans started
getting excited after hearing
what Durant said. The host
picked a few fans randomly and
they had a shooting competition
with Durant. Of course, it was
no surprise that Durant won
the game at the end. It was still
worthwhile to witness Durant’s
excellent basketball skills. As
a big fan of him, like so many
others, | was impressed by
how outstanding Durant was at
basketball.

Unlike other basketball
players, Durant was well-known
for his kindness. As the fourth
highest-earning basketball
player in 2013, he donated
a large amount of money to
the American Red Cross _ for
the victims of the 2013 Moore
tornado. On that day, Durant’s
generosity was represented to
his fans. What really engraved
itself in my memory was that
when the host gave the fans
permission to have photos
taken with Durant, one of the
participants tripped and fell on
the ground. Durant walked up to
this fan and helped him up. As
well as this kind action, Durant
took off his invaluable shoes and
passed them to the fan who just

fell down. | saw the whole situation and | was touched by how
much Durant cared about people, especially those in need. From
this experience, | understood that real truly good people were not
about what they claimed to be but what they actually were. Namely,
as human beings, it was always better to be kind rather than being
mean.

After this event, | put his signed T-shirt into my photo frame. This
event brought a significant impact to my life. From the moment |
met him, to me, Kevin Durant was not only a top basketball player,
but also a human being who showed his humility to individuals, his
talent for basketball, and also his kindness to humans.
