All our moms are the real MVPs 😭
amen
Rahul Gogoispyder Amen
Robert King not mine sadly
But not my mom
Not all of them
“When you didn’t eat, you made sure we ate, you went to sleep hungry” That’s real love
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.
@@laurocoman Football player Fernando Torres said, " No athlete should be considered a hero. Real heroes are moms who raise their kids alone."
Damn.
Shout out momma !
I done that...it's nothing compare to the feeling of knowing your kids ate.
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
MVP speech of the century
Idk Giannis might top it
J. Cash lol if u only count snot and tears
@@quangminh6011 hahaha true
J. Cash nah giannis aint top it 😂
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
"you the real mvp"best mvp line ever
Sabian Vorachev I don’t see you accomplishing more things than him
@Sabian Vorachev have some respect
@Sabian Vorachev bruh he tore his achilles
Sabian Vorachev do you not know what an Achilles tear is
Sabian Vorachev bruh
Wow I never knew it was such an emotional speech. Fuckin internet ruining everything
Lmao me either
Literally the exact same.
Oliver Twist You don't look like no damn Oliver Twist
hajven4 this is just part of the speech lol the whole thing was even more emotional
hajven4 I thought the exact same thing! That was an amazingly beautiful speech
I never knew this was such a serious, emotional and meaningful speech. I feel bad laughing about the memes that were from this.
You. The real mvp 🤣😂
you trippin and for that you da real mvp
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.
I never see a meme of this but i just imagine his mom playing basket xd
9 years later. Still enough to make a grown man cry. Truly iconic.
This speech never gets old. We were all born from a woman.
I’m racist
@@idrinkbreastmilk2883unless you’re trolling when and why did you become racist share your story.
I cried.
You da real MVP
quick, get his tears, it can heal cancer!
pussy
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) harmonicdoge ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I fuck 'dat.
Chuck Norris but hes not a rapper
When we got our first apartment, and hugged, because we thought we’d made it.
Puts it all in perspective
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 nah
@@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.....
@@williamrobinson6059 Mf tripping 😭😭
am i the only one who got chills watching this
Wow a Cavs fan saying that
bruh when that "you da real mvp" drops, my eyes became waterfalls ;_;
Yes.
Nope
No
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
Yea
❤
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.
Stephen Cogan smh
What?
+Stephen Cogan EXACTLY. They could finally afford it. Well seen.
+Stephen Cogan Obviously dude, did you even listen? She sacrificed food. She starved. OBVI gonna give up braces...
No I mean SHE JUST got them. He's been a millionaire for several years now.
I'm mad about Durant leaving but this is 1 thing I respect
Jack Davidson I really don't like his disecion but he really s s nice guy and this almost made me cry
Ai Th Decision*
Jack Davidson this is Okc Durant, the one we loved, gsw Durant is a bitch
Ryan Kyle 4607 He turned heel
@@Ray-qy1yd so fuck everything he did for you bums huh?
Prayers up for KD. Speedy Recovery ❤️❤️🙏
prayers up for him now especially

Makes you wonder.... who the fuck would dislike this video?
What's there to hate about the guy showing some gratitude...??
The Dylan roofs of the world
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
+208xx dont get mad about it just see how many more people liked the video

“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.
Makes me cry every time
+Brittany Hackworth i cri evrytiem
*evrytim
u all spelles EVERYTIME wrong!
+Annie “Professional Fangirl” Tomlinson and u spelled 'spells' wrongly
girl y u so dumb, it's a meme
People that share their Netflix accounts are the real MVP's
Tpindell
+L.S.U. is Best lol
On God
Ahlie
Waste of time to go on Netflx
This still gives me chills. Shout out to the real moms during their best and putting their children in positions to be successful
Man I need to appreciate my mother more. She's the only reason I am where I am today. God bless you Kevin Durant for this.
I hope all is well and you kept your word. All we have is family in this world. Make it the best.
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.
Fr😭
Great man to honor his mother like that.
back here after 7 years and he still playing like a mvp
This didn’t age well.
@@LondonDawson 😂😂😂😂
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.
You want that kind of people in your corner.
Came for the meme.
Left with ALL the feels.
;___;
Fuck you dude!!!
@@michaelbrown7209 why? Lmao, this shit had me weak bruh
98 people though that they were the Mvp.
113 now. So sad...
+KirAtic or just hate traitors
oh 4 more haters have joined them
There racists
200 😔
Its mothers day.and i came back here...
Am I the only one here after KD hugged his mom after the game 7 heartbreak?
His relationship with his mom has always been beautiful ♥️.
I'm here after PJ tucker and her wholesome interaction
Lady in the back felt that…everybody was crying that day!
I felt some type of way :(
It's called feeling a feel
So that's what the "feels" feels like
christopher martinez You should know Feel man.
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
Nobody NOBODY tops that!
She must be so proud...
This speech still makes me cry
Fr
And thus, somehow a meme was born.
you the real MVP
No matter how many times I watch this, it keeps giving me chills. Best MVP line ever
Didn't know that the meme came from such an emotional moment. What the hell, guys?
I agree, whats wrong with people nowadays?
OH MY FEELS, HURTS
Dis loooong dick is what's wrong.
Great, sincere moment from KD. Great meme. It's a win-win.
I know right
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.
Love him or hate him, you cant deny, he loves his mother
That's a true gentleman right there and what an amazing woman!
“You went to sleep hungry” that’s the one for me 👏🏻
For as much shit as we give him for this, it really was an amazing speech
Who gives him anything? This was the greatest MVP speech I've seen
+Danny Dolan fuck kevin durant - lil b
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
Back when Durant was the most loved person in all of OKC....this might be the best MVP speech ive heard
I really not even that emotional and I even felt that.
Now being called the real mvp is considered the highest compliment you can bestow upon someone these days
whats really beautiful is to the see the white lady in the backround crying just as hard
we're really all more alike then we'd like to admit
BoB n fishy LOL
Skin tone has nothing to do with anything. Struggling is struggling no matter what skin color a human being has.
She's the real MVP
Na fam you da real MVP
What would be more beautiful is if race didn't come into play about everything you think about.
A mother's love for her children....🙏🏿
Back when Kevin Durant was loved by everyone
So since KD's mom is the real MVP how many PPG do you think she will have this season ?
Jon Snow you know nothing Jon Snow...aw wait
Over 9000!!!!
Dr.Hugo Strange So far she hasn't been on Shaqtin' a fool.
Jon stfu
R.I.P in peas jon snow, For the watch ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) o~|==>( x_ʖ x)
This is the Most Valuable MVP interview I have ever seen.
I respect kd for this speech, still one of the best MVP speeches ever
Arguably the best mvp speech in nba history
That’s my mvp
This was an amazing speech showing gratitude for his mom, but the internet ruins everything, this was meant to be emotional and i find it hilarious
+Penske Material The only reason most of the internet knows about this is because of the meme. You should be like Kevin for his momma: grateful. You didn't learn shit, it seems.
you know me better than I know myself from a comment, I wish I had that talent
Ikr, when he says "you the real mvp" I can't help but laugh a little lol
I know bruh
@@postblitz grateful for a dumb meme that basically mocks the meaningfulness of this wholehearted speech?
"Y'all niggas trippin" -Westbrook
A very well deserved standing ovation for the real baller and mvp. She worked so hard and that work paid off! God bless..........
Probably one of the greatest mvp speech of all time
i respect kd so much after this
This speech kills me everytime. I hope one day i can give my mom everything she deserves
"We wasn't supposed to be here."
REALEST SHIT EVER ! Bless KD mom
“We weren’t supposed to be here” man that got me
KD is a real class act. On the court he's the consumate professional, and off the court he's as genuine as it gets. #MVP
Moms are truly the best no matter what💕☀️
Bruh that white lady in the background when kev said his mom the real MVP got me dying. she was ready to burst out in tears
damn she sexy
@@neversayjello tf?
beautiful words
Who’s here after Giannis emotional speech ❤️
"We weren't supposed to be here! ...You made us believe..." God, that part gets me every time.
Those 39 people who dislike this video ain't shit
You the real mvp
This truly shows you how childish the internet is this man had a pure and honest moment and the internet made it a meme!
This still hits me in the feels. What an amazing moment and tribute to his mom.
eyyyyyyy kd is a goat everybody hatin on him fo no reason at all
Hands down still one of the greatest speeches of all time
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.
This always makes me want to hug my mom
2021 we here watching this inspirational speech 🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s enough to make a grown man cry, and that’s okay
All moms are MVP 😭
Big facts
Many kids nowadays don’t see those as a blessing: clothes on your back, roof under your head, a food in your stomach
A REAL MAN. THAT WHY YOU THE BEST KEVIN DURANT...
What a son and what a mom
Durant and his mom 2 mvp's
Has to be the greatest MVP speech of all time I get teary eyed every time.
This gotta be the best MVP speech
hands down the best nba player speech
Happy mother's day everyone. Call your moms
Fuck you and her.
@@lorenzovonmatterhorn4756 weird
I havent cried years but this made me even cry! He remembered his mother and his speech felt so honest!
broo KD you made me cry 8 years later. Our mommas are the authentic MVP's
Best. Sports speech. Ever
Simply beautiful! Big ups to this man, and the mom's who always supported their children they're all MVP's
This never gets old... Mom & Dad, y'all are my MVPs. Thank you!
I’m in tears.
I’m watching this 6 years later and it’s still the real MVP
Fr
Now, imagine being his mom at this very exact moment and listening to your son talking while shaking...!!! Never felt so prouddd ! Way to go Mr Durant !
What a beautiful speech and amazing to hear their story ....so much respect for Kevin what a classy guy ...on and off the court ...
Happy mother's day. Moms are MVPs.
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.
To the person that watched this and thought: "This would make a great meme."
YOU THE REAL MVP!
Still gets me to this day! Best sports mvp speech of all time and it ain’t even close!
Still come here if I need to cry
This still brings tears to my eyes. Such a touching speech.
