It was 12 years ago today that the horrors of 9/11 were etched into the annals of history, yet the events of that day still seem so recent.
Two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York City causing them to collapse and two other planes flew towards targets further south—one crashing in a field in Pennsylvania, the other hitting the Pentagon in Washington.
Today, as many across the United States take time to reflect on the tragedy that occurred so many years ago, so to do our favorite NBA athletes.

9-11. All I could remember was seeing smoke coming up Suitland Parkway from the pentagon and praying that my Mom was ok at work. — Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) September 11, 2013
