MJ always gave back. I went to his Celebrity Golf Classic in Greenville, NC every year in the 90s where all the money went to charity. $8-14 to see MJ and pretty much every big sports and tv star at the time showed up every year to play golf.

Yes, even the rare Jordan critics have conceded that he has always quietly contributed to community organizations.
TLR, the truth often takes a backseat to what people want to believe.

Not a zero sum game but lebron has done more and jordan has more resources available.

Any donation is a good donation, but but i can help but think this is a reponse after tpeople said he doesn’t go shyt for the community.


Lebron built that school in Akron and it’s changed lives.

Dumb take, MJ been giving back.

No matter what a celebrity does when they give back, you'll always have people saying they should do more. It's never enough. I understand why some celebrities don't advertise when they do something positive.

Eh, celebrities get oversized credit for their good deeds. The people who detract are few and far in-between. You donate 3 times and you’re labeled a humanitarian. Some people just don’t like to be all up in the videos with their charity.

That said, this is a good gesture. But just looking at those orgs, I wonder if they wrote with a specific needs for those grants because otherwise, I feel like MJ would go further with donating more to less orgs. But that’s moreso my approach to donating and I’m not mad at him.

I'm happy he donated. You know they need the money. But 2.3M among all those organizations seems like not enough.

You are saying this, as if he’s the sole funder for all of these organizations

 

[Gator Reloaded]

Hopefully others join in

Why don’t you start?
