Yes...where are the rest?
To whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48). If you have heard that line of wisdom, you know it means we are held responsible for what we have. If we have been blessed with talents, wealth, knowledge, time, and the like, it is expected that we benefit others.

AD with another All-Star performance
I’ve been asking this question for a while pertaining to our BB program. Why don’t all of these first round millionaires give a little back to the program? You see it at other places, why not here?
It’s their money to do with as they see fit. If they donate a portion of it, and we all know about it, great! If they do it quietly and we don’t know, even better. If they choose not to give anything, whatever! Why should we care?
How do you know they don't? Not everything is made public. In fact I'd guess most isn't.
For all we know many former players donate to the program in one way or another. If they want to keep it on down low, that's perfectly fine by me.
Many have their own favorite charities they give substantially to. In fact, if "Former Cal NBA Players" was a business, its philanthropic donations would be very impressive.
Its great when their money comes back to KY, but tons of NBA Cities and former Cat Hometowns have a lot to be thankful for already.
Some reporter should pull all that together ... helluva story.

Geez people...... anytime you guys want to compare your 1040 line for Charitable Donations with AD or any one else let me know. Percentage wise or dollar wise. Although we already know you lose big time on dollar amount.
They have done it quietly many times. It’s great to hear about it but sometimes they don’t want publicity which is good.
Love when people complain about others not giving enough. How much have you donated? My guess is none.
A lot of them donate privately. The more public it is the more hands reach out. A buddy of mine saw Shaq walking into a mall in orlando years ago and he went to say hello. As soon as Shaq saw him he said 'I have no money to give', lol, so I can imagine how often they are actually hit up for money.
And with my first post on the forum, Thank You Anthony Davis for not only winning a championship but caring greatly about the state you represented as a college athlete!
I don’t know if they do or don’t. Just saying with the amount of millionaires this program has produced you wouldn’t think everything would be left up to Joe Craft. Wouldn’t hurt Cal to donate his salary for the last couple of years that he’s done nothing IMO.
Sorry I hurt a few of your tender feelings with my statement.
Nice gesture by AD.
My favorite is when said people gripe and want donataions be made public but then get all in a tizzy when tax records have to come out when one runs for office.
You didn’t hurt feelings. It was just a pointless beating of a dead horse. Like a kid saying “are we there yet?”
When/if I give anything I don't want anybody to know about it because I don't want credit for doing it. That would taint it for me. Maybe some of our guys are the same way. To each his own. No need to rag on anybody. Everybody hears the Lord's calling differently. The key is that you are listening because He will call.
Matt. 6:1-4
"But beware of doing your righteousness before men, to be viewed by them; if you do, you have no reward with your Father in heaven. 2 So when you give charity do not have a trumpet blown before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men; I tell you verily, they have got their reward. 3 But at your giving charity let your left hand not find out what your right is doing, 4 so that your charity may be under cover, and your Father who sees under cover will repay you."
Totally unfair. Unless you’re joking. Some people donate a huge sum and prefer to keep it anonymous. I’m sure other players do a lot for the program and those around it.
As did I.Seems like your feelings were hurt dude. I just asked a question....
A lot of them gave to the tornado telethon, not that it's anyone's business.
Lots of people give behind the scenes. They don't want it public.
Also Cal had mentioned he was hesitant to reach out to players because they helped out recently with another disaster I believe. Which says others have most definitely gave back in the past.

Stop with stuff like this...these guys are residents of not just Kentucky. They give tons to the areas they group in and play NBA.
1. John Wall Family Foundation launches "202 Assist" rent assistance program to help Ward 8 residents impacted by pandemic
2. !00% of proceeds from the event went to local charities and nonprofit organizations in the Sacramento area. Hefty donation to Sacramento charities in 2013: How can you not like Demarcus Cousins? After receiving a four-year, $62 million extension with the Kings in 2013, Cousins donated $1 million to Sacramento families in
What about Towns and Booker $200 million contracts??? A measley $50,000 to eastern Kentucky would have helped...
Eastern KY is getting way more money than they will need to rebuild. It's not like it's expensive land. They're gonna get billions of dollars from the gov't. They'll be aight.
You're sure about that? Federal money has been slow to come to Mayfield.
For how much tax the government collects across the nation nobody should even have to donate. Didn’t they just take like 55 percent of the 1.2 billion dollar mega mill jackpot alone.
well never mind we got to send 70 billion to ukraine
well never mind we got to send 70 billion to ukraine
Samuel 15:3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Again, no one knows what these guys give or don't give behind the scenes.
Again...if I looked long enough, I'd imagine we find somethign they give. But regardless.....why the sentiment that they are stingy and/or owe Eastern Ky anything? They are from New Jersey and Missouri respectively...so why not focus their resources on disasters that hit those communities?
This class warfare that players owe something is sort of selfish sounding.
My family is in Mayfield and this money isn’t coming like originally thought. Many people are worried a lot of things will never be rebuilt.
