The shirt can also be purchased online. Proceeds will benefit flood relief for the Texas Hill Country, which suffered devastating damage and loss of life during the July 4 holiday weekend. 'We wanted to do something to make his introduction to the city meaningful,' Bun B said of his new partnership with the NBA star. The two are longtime friends. Dating back to his college days, Durant has extensive ties to the region and state. Houston's CW 39 (KIAH) has more: The Easy Money Burger was created using all of the player's favorite burger toppings: ketchup, mayo, pickles and American cheese. Each burger will also be served with custom packaging with imagery that represents Durant's basketball career at the University of Texas. 'This partnership is dedicated to the Central Texas Hill Country area, where KD played college basketball,' Bun B said. 'We wanted to create something that will give back to the community Kevin is connected with and so passionate about, and we hope to provide meaningful support for our Texas neighbors as we all work together to recover from this devastating flooding.' 'Collaboration is the true essence of community,' Durant wrote in a story published on his personal Instagram page. He expressed appreciation to Bun B and Trill Burgers for the opportunity.
