Mama knows best: Wanda Durant praises the person Kevin Durant is off the court

The beautiful and close relationship between Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant and his mother Wanda Durant is rather well documented. You likely remember KD’s touching speech when he won the NBA MVP award in 2014, and, through teary eyes, proclaimed that Wanda was the “real MVP.”

And just as the two-time Finals MVP is proud of his wonderful mother, Wanda is proud of her outstanding son. The day after Kevin officially opened the doors to The Durant Center, an after-school facility aimed at helping kids from low-income backgrounds have the tools necessary to succeed in school and attend college, his mom spoke about the human that he is.
