This is so dumb. Team Durant’s charity will get nothing.
No they get $ too

ATLANTA (AP) — The last shot of Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game will be worth $300,000 for either the Thurgood Marshall College Fund or United Negro College Fund, the league said Wednesday in revealing how an estimated $3 million in charitable donations from the contest will be distributed.
Those two organizations that support historically Black colleges or universities will be the primary benefactors, each guaranteed $500,000 in scholarship funding before the game even starts and with an additional $750,000 at stake during the game.
The teams captained by LeBron James and Kevin Durant will each represent one of those groups, and the winning team in each of the first, second and third quarters will collect $150,000 for their respective organization. The first team to hit the target score and win the All-Star Game will get the final $300,000 in scholarship funds.
Voting just opened and as usual, will be voting Bron to be a starter. Whoever is coaching the West team better play him less minutes though.
Not sure if team performance will have a big effect, but hopefully he will still be named captain this allstar game. Won't be surprised if Steph gets it though, he is on fire this season.
