With tears in her eyes, Wanda Pratt stood outside of the restaurant with her son's initials emblazoned it. On this chilly Sunday evening in Bricktown, she held Kevin Durant's hand and looked up at him as he talked proudly about his first charity fundraiser.

“We just want to do our justice by giving back to the less fortunate,”' Durant said. “That's how I was raised. That's what my mom taught me, my grandmother taught me … to give back.

“I've been blessed with so much, I want to be a blessing to someone else.”

“The Spot: A Night of Jazz Benefiting the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation” was the latest step in Durant's continual effort to give back to Oklahoma City. Similar to Serge Ibaka's Foundation gala in Oklahoma City in January, Durant's event combined a silent auction of sports memorabilia, live music, and a major turnout of Thunder celebrity with all proceeds going to Durant's charity and his Build It and They Will Ball initiative. Through Build It and They Will Ball, Durant will build and renovate a second court at North Highland Elementary School in Oklahoma City and courts across the U.S.
