NBA:(Photo) Iconic Picture Captured In Aftermath Of Tornado’s In Oklahoma
By now I am sure most of you have heard about all the effort Kevin Durant has been making to help the people of Oklahoma who suffered through one of the worst Tornado’s in American history. Besides donating $1 million dollars himself, he personally has been on hand to help clean up debris, and was answering phones on behalf of the red cross.

NBA:(Video) Kevin Durant Doesn’t Give A Damn What People Think!
Kevin Durant has been taking a little heat since the Thunder lost to the Grizzlies in the second round of the playoffs.

After making a comment the other day about the season not being a waste, some idiots in the media began to question his hunger to win. All this because a couple years ago when the Lakers lost to the Mavericks, Kobe said any season that doesn’t end in a championship is a waste, but Durant disagreed. Yesterday, the Thunder players had their exit interviews for the season with the media, and KD put them in their place. Check it out after the jump.
