This is sooooooooo sweet!!! I love to hear these kinds of stories!! Kevin Durant, Kevin Hart & Tavon Austin called a 13-year-old after brain surgery to wish him a speedy recovery & a happy birthday. That’s one star power of a call!! Hit the jump for details…
Via TMZ:
Kevin Durant, actor Kevin Hart and NFL star Tavon Austin called up 13-year-old Mikka on Thursday after learning about the brave boy’s battle with a brain condition.
We spoke to Mikka’s dad who tells us, “Before they called, his energy level was low … but those guys really picked him up. They actually brought a smile to his face.”
He adds, “Mikka didn’t believe it. When Kevin Durant called I said, ‘It’s really K.D.'” All three guys told him to be strong and they wished him a happy birthday.
Tavon tells TMZ Sports … “I was happy to call Mikka when I found out he was having major surgery. He’s my family (cousins). I watched Mikka as an infant. He’s a tough kid.”
Mikka’s dad says … Mikka was released from a Maryland hospital on Sunday — and says, “He can’t wait to go to school and tell all of his friends!”
