The small town of Newtown, Connecticut<\/strong> was startled yesterday morning when a heavily armed man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary and opened fire, ultimately killing 26 people with 20 of them being children. The saddening news deeply touched many in the tight-knit community but also hit home with many across the nation.<\/p>\n The Newtown, CT victims were recognized all over the NBA, as many arenas took part in a moment of silence prior to the games; however, Kevin Durant<\/strong> took his recognition a step further.?In remembrance of the late victims, Durant honored the children by writing “Newtown, CT” on his “Home” Nike KD Vs<\/strong> for last night’s Sacramento vs. OKC game. The script, seen right under the swoosh, was written on both shoes. This is a class act by Kevin Durant and reminds us of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James’ similar gesture last season following the death of Trayvon Martin.
