Nba Star Kevin Durant Gives Back To Seat Pleasant Activity Center

[THE WASHINGTON POST] Youngsters in Seat Pleasant now have one of the coolest hangouts in Prince George’s County, courtesy of basketball star Kevin Durant.

While growing up in Seat Pleasant, Durant spent countless hours at the Seat Pleasant Activity Center, honing the skills that have made him one of the NBA’s best players. Last year, the Oklahoma City Thunder forward donated $25,000 to the center, which used the funds to renovate a gaming room/lounge. “Every memory I have growing up is in this center,” Durant said.

The room, dubbed Durant’s Den, has a whole new feel, with a vinyl floor made to replicate a basketball court, two 55-inch LCD flat-screen televisions, a projection screen, an Xbox 360, a PlayStation 3, bar stools, couches and lounge chairs.

“It’s great to see someone that was nurtured in our programs, which goes back to our whole philosophy of having youth grow to be really successful people,” said Samuel J. Parker, chairman of the Prince George’s County Planning Board and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commisison, which directs the Center. “Not only is Kevin a good athlete, he’s just a good young man. We’re just so proud to see him come back here, and it feels really good.”
