NBA champion and Finals MVP Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors and 3,459 Indian children from the Reliance Foundation Junior NBA program today set a new Guiness World Record achievement for the world's largest basketball lesson (multiple venues) ever held.
During his first-ever trip to India, Durant conducted the record-breaking feat at The NBA Academy India, the league's elite basketball training center here for the top male and female prospects from across the country.
A group of youth were onsite at The NBA Academy India, while the other boys and girls participated via satellite from Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
"Sharing my love of basketball with thousands of boys and girls across India was an unbelievable experience," said Durant.
"It was an honour to coach these amazing kids and to be a part of this special day."
Durant is in India to support the continued growth of basketball in the country.
While in the National Capital, he coached the country's top prospects at The NBA Academy India and built two new basketball courts at the Ramjas School as part of the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation's "Build It And They Will Ball Courts Renovation Initiative".
