Kevin Durant has played with some of the best talent in the modern NBA. The two-time champion is already a legend and a superstar. And like most other NBA superstars, the Slim Reaper believes in giving back to the community. Durant is currently at the forefront of an organization that is doing something rare. Not only is it opening doors for newcomers it is also enabling players to do what they love most – hoop.

The Kevin Durant Foundation has been working to promote the game and enable its players not just in the United States but all around the world. Foreign fans and players are particularly excited as new locations open up in Europe.

The basketball community has been growing in all directions. Fans of the NBA can be found all over the world, and making basketball courts more accessible to them can increase the chances of finding top international prospects. But also, it can help fans practice their game and find some peace on the court. This is part of the reason why Durant’s foundation is opening two new courts in Stockholm, Sweden.

The new courts don’t just enable young players to practice, they’re also a means to motivate prospects. The artwork around the courts comprises positive statements that inspire the youth to strive for their dreams. These colorful, striking basketball courts are sure to bring players and fans in swarms, and hopefully, create a positive atmosphere that enables up-and-coming players to get a stage.
