Kevin Durant may no longer play for the Golden State Warriors, but he certainly made his mark in the Bay Area. Aside from the stellar on-court play - which included three All-Star selections, three All-NBA selections, two titles, and two NBA Finals MVPs in his three years - Durant was heavily involved in the community, with myriad philanthropic efforts. His latest - and possibly final - involvement in the community is a beauty. Durant announced that he and his business, Thirty Five Ventures, through his charity, the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation, had finished an outdoor basketball court in San Francisco. And as far as courts go, you can’t make one much prettier than this.
