Kevin Durant has just gone from a basketball icon to a full-on hero in Oklahoma!
The NBA superstar has reportedly donated $1 million dollars to the Red Cross hurricane relief efforts after the city of Moore was struck by a devastating tornado on Monday.
Kevin has taken to Twitter to support the victims of the horrible events and urged his followers to give what they can, saying:
Text “REDCROSS” to 90999 for $10 donation to help tornado victims in #OKC #okwx

The Red Cross announced his generous donation, saying:

Wow! We think we might have a new favorite basketball player!!
The Oklahoma City Thunder are known to have some of the loudest and most loyal fans in all of the NBA, and it only makes sense that the sensational shooting guard would give back to his community any way he could!
Way to go, Kevin!
