It's heart-breaking. I can't imagine what must go through your head when you are getting by just enough to feed your kids. Mother love is a force to be reckoned with.
my mom did that for me i was raised by a single parent at times my mom went to bed hungry starved herself for 2 weeks just so i could eat she did everything humanly possible to make sure i had anything i needed and then some my mom died in 2013 i have nothing but good things to say about my mom i get to pass on what she taught me onto other people
Vrax fuck u mean. Giannis went through real shit. He had to share sneakers with his brothers in Greece bcuz they were that broke. Not to mention his dad just died. Foh
I didn't either, but I don't think you should feel bad! That's what makes it so iconic, that it was powerful enough to be adapted into humor (The "Stella!!!" scene from Streetcar Named Desire, for example).
My thoughts exactly as I watched this I was like "cant wait to see what hilarious moment created these memes". Now I can't even use it anymore w/o feeling like a jerk.
On a local show in South Africa, they asked a young boy on the street what it means to be rich to him and he replied, "If you never have to go to bed hungry." That really touched me.
@@MasterAppels Poverty is terrible, but in some ways you should envy them, because you or I will never be as alive as that kid. He's living the whole range of human emotions - fear, happiness, aspiration, doubt, survival, joy, danger. His heart is full of dreams. Whereas, people like us are just lazy, bloated, and slowly fading away. We exist, he lives. I made quite a lot of money myself, in my mid-40s (more money than I can spend), and a piece of me died. I was no longer the competitive, driven, aggressive passionate person I used to be. I kind of morphed into a lazy, depressed, slob lol
@@chrisjames6327 Indeed. The more shit you have here, the worse you feel. I've been on both sides of the coin and personally, I was happier when I was poor. My kids and wife are the only reasons I have any of this shit. And let me tell you, it is shit. It's all utterly meaningless in the end. What did I get in return for all of this bullshit? Not the house, the truck, the beamer just parked in the garage that I drive 2 times a month? No, no, I got to shave years off of my life as I stressed out in order to maintain this type of lifestyle. I've never seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul. Perhaps someone else will enjoy this shit when I'm gone? Perhaps 50-60 years from now, someone will need a part off my truck to get their dream antique truck running and they will be happy? Perhaps someone will purchase one of my firearms for their firearm collection and they will be happy? Perhaps someone will restore my home and make it into a bed and breakfast? Then, perhaps a wide variety of people will enjoy this place while they're on vacation from their own stressful lives and they will be happy? It's a nice thought.....
What has always made this so great is it wasn't a "speech". This was a conversation between a boy and his mom. His expression, now a man, of appreciation to her. Those hungry nights didn't go unnoticed. The sacrifices not unseen. At the time, it wasn't stated, but he saw her strength and was, is, and always will be treasured
Just noticed something...she's got braces...She's got braces...She just had dental work done. This is speculation, but I'm betting she's needed that for years and put it off all that time to make sure her kids were taken care of.
“We weren’t supposed to be here…” To say that while obtaining one the greatest achievements in professional sports history was not only completely humbling but struck the heart as well. I tip my hat to you and your family, Mr. Durant.
A mother who doesn't eat so her children can eat, that's how a great mother should be! She should be proud of her and of her son. Fighting through hard times all by her self so her children can have a bright future. Those are the kinds of people who deserve the most recognition.
208xx Indeed. what the fuck is the point to dislike this video? some damn NAPPY ASS Scrubs of the world. I mean i understand if there would be zero dislikes, someone would want to be the first disLika. but 88 dislikes? woah, some people just wanna watch the world burn
208xx there are always people who dislike videos for no reason, they think its their identity or shit. there's even a software called youtube dislike bot for them
I was never a huge Durant fan but this is the best award acceptance speech in history. If you don’t get chills and misty eyed as he delivers that line and you see his mother’s reaction, you’re not human. Respect
So beautiful and touching. Single mothers deserve so much more recognition and respect. Hell single parents in general. It's hard raising a child but raising a child on your own.... Much love Mr. Durant.
Every time I see this f'in speech I feel compelled to jump in my car, go to my parents' house, and give my mom a hug. All these years later, this is still so great.
They give him shit for the GSW move. But it's something I don't get. It's not really free agency if a player can't choose whatever team he wants, right?
@xxxTennisballs KD was just super smart. He knew before all of us that Russ was a problem. Man was ahead of the curve, earned his rings no matter what people say and is now beginning a new chapter in Brooklyn. Remember, some people were like this with LeBron too until he won a ring with Cleveland. That he can't win without a super team. KD just needs to win his Cleveland ring and all will be forgiven
If there’s one thing MJ can’t take away from KD, it’s this speech. I tear up every time to this speech. if uve cried and struggled with moms growing up make sure to remind her that u remember.
It's been a long since I watched..and today I watched it again and I cried again..such a incredible guy who never..never forget who did sacrificed for him.
Mum's and Dad's are good who help get their kids to the top, it helps to have a parent behind u 100% I dnt think there could be a better relationship. Beckham's Dad is the one who helped him. You should always support your kids.
This was amazing. Props to him for not being afraid to show his emotional side and for giving hope to all the other kids and parents struggling out there. Good man.
I can’t believe people make fun of him for this. It’s such an amazing thing to praise your mother in front of the world. Kevin durant is such a big person to do this. Ive always felt this. Seriously dude, im not a fan of basketball but im a fan of you for this. Beautiful words. I love my mom too.
That's what it's all about. Can't do without Mom. Loved the way this young man always hugs his mom after every game. That's a blessing. Happy Mother's day to all of you Moms out there.

His relationship with his mom has always been beautiful ♥️.
I'm here after PJ tucker and her wholesome interaction
By far the best award speech ever
Back when Durant was the most loved person in all of OKC....this might be the best MVP speech ive heard
Love him or hate him, you cant deny, he loves his mother
I respect kd for this speech, still one of the best MVP speeches ever

This still hits me in the feels. What an amazing moment and tribute to his mom.
A mother's love for her children....🙏🏿
I'm a grown ass man. I cannot get through this clip without crying like a little bitch. What a pure moment.
"We weren't supposed to be here! ...You made us believe..." God, that part gets me every time.

Dis loooong dick is what's wrong.
Great, sincere moment from KD. Great meme. It's a win-win.
I know right
this might be the highlight of kd's career. epic character
I havent cried years but this made me even cry! He remembered his mother and his speech felt so honest!
I really not even that emotional and I even felt that.
