Kevin Durant

It might look like things come easy to Kevin Durant, but they don’t. he learned from his mother the value of hard work and he approaches his career the same way. Growing up in the Washington D.C area, Durant watched his mother work from dawn until dusk, only sleeping a few hours and then get up to do it all over again.

Durant used his basketball skills to earn him scholarships to private school, and eventually to the University of Texas. It was there at college that Durant first enjoyed the comfort of having his own room. What a luxury so many of us take for granted.
