Luguentz Dort, Montreal-Nord’s pride and Oklahoma City Thunder staple, received a high-profile honour at City Hall after helping the Thunder to an NBA title. The city registrar’s book was signed as Mayor Valérie Plante lauded Dort’s climb from local hoops to global success, and his commitment to giving back. Dort’s ties to Montreal run deep through his Maizon Dort foundation, sneaker drives at Jewish General Hospital, and upgrades to St-Laurent Park. The moment capped with a rallying homecoming parade and a trophy-side visit from the Larry O’Brien trophy and Rumble the Thunder mascot.

Beyond the on-court triumph, Dort’s off-court leadership and community work shape a narrative of resilience and philanthropy that resonates with fantasy managers who value durable contributors who show peak performance in high-leverage moments. His story underscores a player who blends elite defense and sharpshooting with a track record of giving back, making him a compelling multi-dimensional asset for the coming season.
