Just in time for Mother’s Day, Kevin Durant’s mom Wanda gets her chance to be the real MVP.

Following Durant’s 2014 MVP acceptance speech when the OKC player recalled the sacrifices his mother made for him and his older brother growing up, many were interested in Wanda’s personal story.

“The primary thing that I really wanted to show is life’s ups and downs. Never quitting and always believing that you will succeed for you and your children, that’s the message I want to come across more than anything,” Ms. Durant stated.

The film was produced by Queen Latifah. The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story premieres Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Lifetime.
