WASHINGTON D.C. – Well before he won two NBA championships, collected two Finals MVP’s and become one of the league’s most consistent scorers, Kevin Durant molded his identity at Seat Pleasant Activities Center.

Then, Durant sought refuge from the drugs and crime that permeated his hometown in Prince George County, Md. Durant fell in love with basketball. And Taras Brown, who oversaw the facility, molded Durant’s foundation that eventually helped him become one of the NBA’s most accomplished scorers of his generation.
