Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant became the franchise's first NBA MVP award winner on Tuesday and gave one of the most memorable acceptance speeches of all time.

During the speech, he shows his humility by thanking all of the people along the way that helped him reach this pinnacle. It's an emotional video from the very beginning but shows how much the game of basketball means to him.

Durant beat out LeBron James, who had won four out of the past five awards, and will try to carry his success through the NBA Playoffs.
