Pretty gimmicky PR trick. They should just donate a week's wages and be done with it. There is talk of Premiership footballers donating their wages, which adds up to a huge amount.

A couple of those guys could score a shitload of points, so that can be a nice donation.
Gimmicky or not, its cool. |

Bob Sura will most likely be donating 0$ . He's a good guy.

Sura is a former Warrior, so he won't be scoring any points.

Sura had a few points the other night for the Rockets...He doesnt make as nearly as McGrady and most of the others do but he is still pretty good.

If you are from they Bay Area, then you love to hate on the Warriors. In this case, former Warrior.
So, Sura is crap because he was a warrior. (Don't bring logic into this) |

I ask this out of ignorance, not bastardism...but it really seems like this tsunami is getting relief from everybody and anybody. Was it just a much bigger deal then I think, or is it an issue of one-uping? It seems like there are a lot of disasters that get hardly anything close to this. Just wondering. I applaud the players that are doing it though, they are going to get some good money.

Still, he has a point. There are a lot of people falling over themselves to get some good PR out of this. I appreciate the sentiment, but where are the huge donations of money towards the crisis in Darfur? Tens of thousands of people have been massacred, tens of thousands expelled from their homes and facing starvation.
Do we forget about them? I'm not saying we should help nobody, just that there are things going on we could prevent, if more attention was brought to them. These famous people, instead of doing something when the PR is good, they could use their celebrity status to highlight a crisis like Darfur and have the world do something about it. |

Bryant, McGrady, Miller and Gasol will base the size of their donations on the number of points they score in Thursday night's games, and O'Neal, Sura and Rose will donate $1,000 for each point they score Friday night.
TMac is off Thursday. Kobe is off Thursday. Miller & Gasol play Detroit Thursday. JMaine is off Friday. Sura plays the Lakers Friday. Rose plays Milwaukee Friday. |
