Durant sends signed jersey to Jackson State team manager 'Snacks' Lee
It's been a whirlwind week for Jackson State team manager Thomas "Snacks" Lee.
Lee went viral after checking into his first collegiate basketball game Monday and draining a deep 3-pointer in a 76-56 win over Arkansas Pine-Bluff. He was named the Southwestern Athletic Conference's Player of the Week on Tuesday, and was then surprised with a signed jersey from his favorite player, Kevin Durant, during an appearance on Thursday's episode of "Today."
Meet Thomas Lee, Jackson State University’s basketball team manager. He’s affectionately known as “Snacks” because he always brings food for the team.

He spent the last four years on the sidelines, but that all changed Monday on senior night. pic.twitter.com/s1C26mvpgC
Lee was also gifted four tickets to an upcoming Brooklyn Nets game, which means his dream of meeting Durant may come true.
