Wanda Durant is the real MVP, but KD is a grandma’s boy too. Barbara A. Davis, KD’s grandma, was the one who told KD his height was a gift, even when his classmates teased him about his prodigious size. Her house was an escape of sorts for the Durant family, a place to laugh, cry, listen and learn from the family matriarch. Barbara’s enduring memory lives on in this special all-purple KD18, an homage to her favorite color. Her initials “B.A.D.” are embroidered on both tongue tops as well.
