NBA's Kevin Durant Gives Touching Tribute To Mother After Winning MVP [Video]
The National Basketball Association awarded Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant with this season's Most Valuable Player award.
He won by a deserved landslide, 119 first-place votes out of 125 to dethroned LeBron 'King James', who had won four of the previous five MVPs.
James finished in second place ahead of Clippers forward Blake Griffin, Bulls star Joakim Noah and Houston’s James Harden. Video and more below:
In a lengthy, tearful and poignant ceremony, Durant thanked his family members, every single teammate from Russell Westbrook to little-known Grant Jerrett, the entire Thunder coaching staff and organization, Oklahoma City and The Oklahoman newspaper for calling him "Mr. Unreliable."
It was a heartfelt moment for Durant, none more so than when he referenced Pratt, his mother.
"We weren't supposed to be here," Durant said. "You made us believe. You kept us off the street. You put clothes on our backs. You put food on the table. When you didn't eat, you made sure we ate and [you] went to sleep hungry.
"You sacrificed for us. You're the real MVP." Watch video below:
