AUSTIN, Texas – Former University of Texas star and 2007 consensus National

professional athlete to his alma mater.
In honor of the contribution, of which $2.5 million will go to Texas

Kevin Durant Texas Basketball Center. In addition, the men's basketball
facilities will be named The Kevin Durant Basketball Facility for Men.
勇士隊球星 Kevin Durant 捐贈三百萬美金給母校-德州大學奧斯汀分校
同時這也是校方有史以來從職業球員的校友們手中所收到的最大筆捐款金額
其中250萬元預計將用在學校籃球隊身上,而且將會把訓練場館直接命名為 Kevin Durant
能夠提供給男籃和女籃的校隊選手們更完善的練習場地和設備
至於其餘的50萬元則是交由學校在三年前所成立的運動領導以及創新中心(CSLi)
主要的任務為養成教練和選手的性格發展以及領導能力
Kevin Durant 先前在大一時期(2006-07球季)的表現就已經非常突出
整季下來平均繳出 25.8分 11.1籃板 1.3助攻
當年囊括非常多獎項,包括有年度最佳運動員、伍登獎以及奈史密斯最佳大學球員獎等
後來他也決定棄學投入2007年NBA選秀會,最後則是以第二順位加入西雅圖超音速隊
而他所身穿的35號球衣早已被學校退休了
