In an age of (often justified) cynicism, with entitled celebs who thumb their noses at all the 'regular' people and people who are so full of themselves, it is incredibly refreshing to see a guy like Durant.
If you haven't seen KD's acceptance speech from yesterday, it's well worth a look. The guy just seems like a very humble guy, thankful for what he's got. He's the kind of guy I'd want my son looking up to. He could have very easily been just another statistic / thug / criminal , but his mom helped keep him on the right path and he was able to use his talent. By all accounts he's very involved in the community, gives back a ton etc.
Of course, you don't know what he's really like, we just see the outside appearance, but he certainly seems like the real deal.

The part where he talks about them getting into a small apartment with no furniture etc, just hugging each other and being so happy because they felt like they "made it" was really moving.
