Jordan, who is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time after winning six championships and five MVPs, has always made sure to give back to his hometown and state of Wilmington and North Carolina.
Jordan was the first former NBA player to become a billionaire and also owned the Charlotte Hornets.
Durant, a two-time Finals MVP and eighth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, also recognizes the importance of giving back, as he started the Durant Family Foundation back in 2013.
According to the foundation’s website: “The mission of the Durant Family Foundation (DFF) is to enrich the lives of at-risk youth from low-income backgrounds through educational, athletic and social programs. Since 2013, DFF has developed direct programs and initiatives to support youth across the US, in Kevin Durant’s hometown, and internationally. Additionally, the foundation has allocated grants to support programs addressing homelessness, youth athletics, girls empowerment, social justice, and disaster relief.”
Durant and Jordan are two of the best players to ever touch a basketball, but still place a lot of value in helping those around them.
