Jenson Alexander Lyons Button was born in 19 January 1980 in Frome, Somerset, England. He was the 2009 F1 world champion. Button started his career with the Williams team in 2000, racing his first race in Australia. It was obvious from the start that he had talent, but racing for teams with uncompetitive cars, resulted in taking him several years to win his first Grand Prix, in 2006 in Hungary, with Honda.
Button competed with several different teams, during his F1 career. After his success in British Formula Ford and British Formula Three, Williams aproched Button and signed him for his first F1 season in 2000, alongside teamate Ralf Schumacher. He became Breatin's youngest ever F1 driver (by that time). Former F1 driver Gerhard Berger described Button as a "phenomenon", before his first race in Australia, as others also also praised him.

Kevin Wayne Durant was born September 29, 1988 in Washington, D.C. (Click here for a complete listing of today's sports birthdays.) He grew up with his older brother Tony in Seat Pleasant, Maryland, just outside the nation’s capitol. They were raised by their mother Wanda Pratt and her mother Barbara Davis.
Their father Wayne Pratt left the family when Kevin was eight-months-old. He came back into his son’s life when Kevin was around the age of 13. Both parents worked for the government—Wayne for the Library of Congress and Wanda as a postal employee.
Kevin was always the tallest boy in his class—and very self-conscious about his height. His mother asked his teachers to put him at the end of lines, so he wouldn't stand out as much. His grandmother Barbara consoled him, saying that his height was a blessing—just wait and see. Over the years, through all the ups and downs, she would prove to be the family’s rock.
Kevin and his brother loved to play sports. They rooted for the Baltimore-area sports teams, including the Washington Wizards, whose stars included Michael Jordan. Kevin would later meet Jordan after being voted MVP at a high school tournament that bore his name.
Kevin and his brother participated in a wide range of after-school sports at the local Boys & Girls Club. Despite their close relationship, they never played on the same team as they grew older. In fact, when Tony finished his freshman year at Suitland High School, he decided to blaze his own path. Kevin's older brother transferred to St. John's Military School in Salina, Kansas.
