Kevin Durant Pledges To Donate $1,000,000 To Oklahoma Tornado Victims


In a big time of need, Kevin Durant is once again coming through in the clutch for Oklahoma City.

Per the Red Cross, Durant has given a $1 million donation to the Oklahoma tornado disaster relief fund.

Death numbers aren't certain but currently 24 people, including many children, lost their lives int he tornado that ravaged Moore, Oklahoma. An estimated 300 homes have been destroyed and early valuations have the damage totaling well into the billions of dollars.

On Monday, Durant tweeted, “Praying for the victims of the Tornadoes in OKC these last few days..Everybody stay safe!"

One thing I want to add about Durant's donation: It's almost not news. Because it's the least surprising thing ever. It's who he is. I knew it was coming. It was just a matter of if the news would find its way to the public. If there's a professional athlete that truly gets it, it's Kevin Durant.

Primary Thunder sponsor Chesapeake Energy made a $1 million cash donation yesterday also.
