The Warriors took down the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in Minnesota in a 117-107 final, but after the game, Kevin Durant decided to surprise some young fans at their hotel.
After a 17-point, nine assist night against the Wolves, the reigning two-time Finals MVP decided to try his hand at a different occupation: pizza delivery. Durant surprised the kids by delivering pizza to their hotel room and chatting with them briefly, taking a picture as well, before departing and leaving them with quite the memory.
Thank you @KDTrey5 for making this a night we will never forget, by surprising our kids with a pizza delivery to our hotel room. What a great guy! @GolicAndWingo @TheHerd @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/hLyrsUO3ob

Durant apparently saw the kids in the elevator at the hotel the team was staying at and decided to surprise them later with the pizza delivery.
It’s a really cool moment for those kids and a nice gesture from Durant to pop in for a special delivery that surely made their night. While Durant can sometimes be prickly with the media, he, like so many other NBA stars, does some great off-court things, particularly with kids and this offers another example of that. The kids will surely remember the moment one of the best basketball players in the world delivered them pizza after the game, and now Durant has experience in a fallback occupation in case this whole basketball thing doesn’t work out.
