    For a dude who's gonna be a billionaire soon, that's nothing. Will cover some lost income to taxes.

    I'm not saying he's a bad dude, Im saying it's not altruistic and it's a PR move more than a true philanthropic desire ala DRob or Dikembe. I think its neat but it coinciding with a do entary he produces about what athletes mean to their communities, which percentage wise is jack compared to what the communities and fans provide them (arenas, elitist lifestyles) is a farce and a testament to social inequity and how awful sycophancy is in our culture.
    lol you think he's doing this all for a do entary....


    ....on Showtime....

    I did say "nothing more, nothing less", so you have your "technically right" moment. Good for you. I'm walking that back a bit as it was hyperbolic.

    My point is he's doing it in conjunction with the do entary, he's doing it as a PR move and he is smart to do that as the culture that enables the celebrity elite to prescribe them political, moral and societal philosophy is his audience and will see it more than it's worth. $2 mil per year to put your name on a public school thru a non profit is nothing to a billion dollar brand. Smart business move I can respect in that regard, faux morality I can see as easily as I respect the business savvy.

    But yes. You got me on 1 post Good work.
