The genuine Most Valuable Player during this year’s Thanksgiving break is Wanda Durant, who is Kevin Durant’s mother. The mother of a player for the Brooklyn Nets provided free Thanksgiving turkeys to two hundred citizens of Seat Pleasant, Maryland, who were in need.

On Monday, Mayor Eugene W. Grant and Wanda distributed turkeys to residents of Seat Pleasant in conjunction with the City of Seat Pleasant at City Hall.

“This opportunity brings together the City and partnered organizations to share in the holiday spirit with those who are in need,” Mayor Eugene W. Grant said in a statement. “It is heartening to see someone who is so loving and passionate as Wanda Durant expending her time and effort to help families enjoy the holiday season.”

Prior to being traded to the Nets in July, Durant was raised in Prince George’s County. During his high school baseball career, he attended National Christian Academy in Oxon Hill, and for his final year, he attended Montrose Christian Academy in Rockville.

According to Kevin Durant’s mother, one of her life’s ambitions is to support poor kids and single moms in towns like the one where Kevin grew up as well as other places.

“It is an honor and a pleasure for the Durant family to support families in our community during this holiday, and we do so with humble hearts and grateful spirits,” Wanda stated.
