An Oklahoma City reporter took this photo of a Durant jersey hanging amidst the rubble. Wow.

UPDATE: The Oklahoma City Thunder and the NBA are following Kevin Durant's lead with 1 million dollar donations

Thunder Chairman Clay Bennett today:

"Our hearts go out to all those affected by the devastation that has occurred within our community this week. We are focusing Thunder resources to help where we can in the relief efforts and to support the organizations that are on the ground assisting those affected by this week's storms. Even with so much loss, the strength and resiliency of this community have once again been on display, and we will continue to work together as our community and state recover from this disaster."
