WATCH: Kevin Durant gives candid MVP acceptance speech [VIDEO] Says beating LeBron James in 2014 is 'surreal'

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant finally won the coveted Most Valuable Player award for his performance in the National Basketball Association. While accepting this honor, Durant gave a moving speech that will go down in history as one of the most genuinely grounded examples of the best player of the year.

USA Today reports:

[By] the time the Oklahoma City Thunder star was done with his 25-minute speech, done with the interview session afterward and done with the gala-like event that included hundreds of fans and Oklahoma City's mayor celebrating inside the team's old practice facility outside of town, the totality of his genuine performance will be tough to top by any measure. He thanked teammates by name, telling personal tales about each of their relationships and why they mattered to him. He thanked his coaches, talking at length about the close bond he has had with coach Scott Brooks since they came together during the Seattle SuperSonics days in 2007.

Closing his speech, the MVP thanked his mother, Wanda Pratt.

"Single parent with two boys by the time you were 21 years old," Durant said with tears in his eyes. "Everybody told us we weren't supposed to be here. We moved from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment. No bed, no furniture, and we just all sat in a room and just hugged each other. We thought we'd made it."
