Report: Kevin Durant donates $1 million to tornado relief

We all know athletes make gobs and gobs of money, especially NBA superstars. It's difficult for regular Joes to contextualize what $10,000 means to somebody like Kevin Durant.

So how about $1 million?

According to a CBS report, that's how much Durant donated to the Red Cross to help victims of Monday's tornado that ransacked Moore, Okla.

$1 million.

Durant is in the middle of an $86 million contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and of course, there is all the endorsement money as well.

Sure, he can afford it, but that's still $1 million. That's not exactly throwaway money. That's sacrifice.
