He may have chosen to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder last summer and join the Golden State Warriors, but that does not mean Kevin Durant has forgotten about his ties with the city he played for the past eight seasons.

The former MVP and four-time scoring champion's foundation has been reported to have recently donated $57,000 to a school for homeless children in Oklahoma City, which will be used to buy a land and build a new institute.

This comes after he also personally delivered shoes last Christmas to the children also under Positive Tomorrow's care. Durant had said in the past that homeless kids have a special place in his heart and that he understands the hardships they are going through as he also had difficult times during his childhood, which he talked about during his MVP acceptance speech back in 2014.

Credit must be given to Durant for keeping his promise to continue to help the foundation even if he's not a player of the Thunder anymore. Despite the heckling he's received especially when the Warriors are on the road, he has handled the situation professionally and even said recently that he appreciates all fans, including his haters.

Durant will play his first game in OKC wearing a different jersey on February 11 and it will be interesting how he'll be welcomed by the fans especially inside Chesapeake Energy Arena.
