Kevin Durant rallied a crew of NBA heavyweights to hit the court in Oklahoma City on Sunday to compete and raise funds for the Single Parents Support Network of Oklahoma City, the Associated Press reports. During halftime, Durant handed over a $100,000 check to the organization, which empowers parents to raise productive and educated kids. "We want to just keep giving our fans the opportunity to see us because if not for the fans, we're not who we are," Chris Paul told the AP.
