SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Kevin Durant didn’t just leave the Bay Area empty handed. KD made sure to leave a piece of art that San Francisco will forever cherish.

Airbnb Co-founder Joe Gebbie, also supported this project.
Joe added, “I’m proud to join the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation to support the San Francisco Recreation and Parks and the Hayes Valley Playground renovation project. This one of a kind design created by San Francisco street artist Apexer, will help ensure that kids across the community have a special place to belong and call their own for years to come.”
Bay Area’s local artist Apexer, teamed up with with the foundation to create a masterpiece.
The basketball court included bright colors and abstract patterns.
