Former Texas Longhorns star and 2017 NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant has donated $3 million to the University of Texas to support the basketball program as the school's Center for Sports Leadership and Innovation, the university announced.
Durant's donation is the largest-ever by a former Texas basketball player. $2.5 million will go to the Longhorns basketball program, which will name the men's basketball facilities to The Kevin Durant Basketball Facility For Men.
"My time as a Longhorn helped build the foundation for who I am today as a player and a person, and the UT team will always be my family," Durant said in a statement.
