The Legacy Lives On: Mtn Dew Legend's Court Revamp Unveiled

On November 9, Klay Thompson, a legendary basketball player and devoted philanthropist, brought joy to the students at KIPP San Francisco College Preparatory school by unveiling a newly revamped court. The event was part of Mtn Dew Legend's initiative to provide inspiring spaces for young athletes.

Thompson, a two-time MVP and four-time All-Star, addressed the crowd with enthusiasm, performing a ceremonial 'first layup' on the court designed in collaboration with local artists Charmaine Minniefield and Cienna Minniefield. Simultaneously, across the country, power forward A'ja Wilson was unveiling a new community court at Hyatt Park in her hometown of Columbia, SC.

In his speech, Thompson expressed his love for San Francisco, stating that it has become his home and he is committed to giving back to the community. He emphasized the importance of having an inspiring place to play, which is why partnering with Buffalo Wild Wings and Mtn Dew Legend to revamp this court was so rewarding.

The event was filled with excitement as KIPP students and school officials packed the gym, participating in a thrilling 3-point competition hosted by Thompson himself. The new court features stunning artwork from local artist Abriella Sammy and Luis Perez of Hero Flooring, LLC.

Thompson's dedication to giving back to the community is truly inspiring. By providing upgraded and redesigned spaces for young athletes, he is helping shape the future of basketball. Mtn Dew Legend's initiative is a testament to the power of partnerships in creating positive change.
