It’s been an enormous year for Kevin Durant. The superstar won his first title when the Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals. He was named Finals MVP. He publicly called out the president, then spoke up about racism in America, and set forth a plan to donate $10 million to aspiring college students.
And because of it all, he’s been named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine. A remarkable, but very well-deserved honor.
