Michael Jordan's donation for Make-A-Wish isn't the only one in NBA: Here are 5 other players who have donated big money for a good cause

Michael Jordan celebrated his 60th birthday in a fantastic way. The six-time NBA champion and the greatest basketball player of all time donated $10 million to Make-A-Wish, which is the largest donation the foundation has ever received.

While Jordan is known for his competitiveness, he is also very generous. With a net worth of over $2 billion, Jordan has helped thousands of less fortunate people.

Fortunately, the basketball legend is not the only player who has donated big money for a good cause. This article will reveal five other players who've made large donations to different foundations.

These five NBA players made huge donations

1) LeBron James

LeBron has donated more than $100 million through his foundation. One of his biggest donations came in 2015 when he covered four-year scholarships for thousands of students.

Durant has been involved in a lot of charitable work during every NBA season he's played. Considering that he's now in Phoenix, he will most likely help many organizations in Arizona.

3) Steph Curry

Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha have done a lot of charitable work over the past decade. Curry has used his superstar status and his wealth to help families in need, donating millions of dollars.

From fighting hunger to fighting illiteracy, the Golden State Warriors guard has done a lot of community work. Curry is the highest-paid player in the 2022-23 NBA season and it's nice to see him spend all of his hard-earned work on those who are less fortunate.

4) John Wall

John Wall is no longer a superstar, but he is one of the biggest players the Washington Wizards have ever had. During his tenure at the nation's capital, the playmaker donated a lot of money to those who needed it, especially homeless people.

Wall has used his status and wealth to help many families affected by the coronavirus pandemic. He's also donated masks and meals to doctors and nurses who worked hard during lockdowns.

5) Russell Westbrook

Like John Wall, Russell Westbrook is no longer an NBA superstar. However, the point guard has been a big part of every city he's played for and has done his best to help the less fortunate.
