Good fortune at Fortnite leads to foundation for Nets’ Faried

Kenneth Faried is pretty good at Fortnite. In fact, back in June, when he was still with the Nuggets, he finished second at the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am Tournament. Not bad considering he wound up being paired with a last-minute fill-in. He took home a cool $250,000 in prize money which had to be used for a charitable purpose.

Here’s his reaction from ESPN back then...

This week, Faried announced that he’s using the winnings to establish a foundation, Kenneth Faried HAT (for humble, appreciative, and thankful).

“With the money I won for charity, I started a foundation called Kenneth Faried HAT.
