Fornite Helping NBA Star Build more than just Walls and Stairs


Brooklyn Nets Forward Kenneth Faried starts a foundation after winning Fortnite Tournament.


Kenneth Faried played first seven seasons of his NBA career with the Denver Nuggets before an offseason trade landed him with the Brooklyn Nets. The power forward is also a graduate of Morehead State where he broke Tim Duncan’s modern-era NCAA Division I career rebounding record with 1,673 boards.


With an interest in technology Faried studied CSIS for a little in college.


“When I went to school, I actually told my mom and my dad that I wanted to study CSIS [Computer Science and Information Systems]. I was going to do that in college, but it was just too difficult for me to do while playing basketball because it was too much of a headache to stay up and do coding. Basketball in college was harder—two-a-days, with sprints at 5 o’clock in the morning because you’ve got school at 8 o’clock. That was brutal. I ended up majoring in speech communication and got a minor in business management.” - Kenneth Faried
