Kevin Durant's Mother To Speak At Tulsa Event For Single Moms

Wanda Pratt, mother of Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant, will speak at a Tulsa-area event for single mothers November 22, 2014.

When son Kevin was named the most valuable player in the NBA earlier this year, he spoke about the sacrifices his mother made to raise him and his brother, calling her the "real MVP."

Pratt said she used organized sports to help her sons - to instill Biblical, emotional and social values she believed in. Now she travels the country speaking to children and teens and sharing her experiences with single mothers and other women.
