Cristiano Ronaldo was named the most charitable athlete of 2015, according to DoSomething.org. Now, Kevin Durant is looking to follow in his footsteps.

The NBA all-star visited Positive Tomorrows -- a school for homeless children in Oklahoma City -- on Wednesday. For a small group of children looking for a reason to smile, Christmas came early. Durant was simply playing the role of Santa Claus.

Needless to say, the children were floored by his generosity.

This was the third time Durant visited Positive Tomorrows. Admittedly, $35,000 on your third visit is hardly donating $83,000 to pay for a child’s brain surgery. It isn’t $165,000 to fund a Portuguese cancer center.

It pales in comparison to the charitable work Ronaldo has done in his career, but it’s a 35,000 steps toward giving the Real Madrid star a run for his money in 2016.
