    Jermaine should have done his donating a game early [​IMG] But well who knows, he might go off for 55 again on Thursday.

    The $20,000 or so donated by the players should be small change to them. What I really am impressed by is the committment by the agent to match every dollar the players raise. Still, it's all for a good cause, so any amount of money is fine. I urge all of you guys to consider donating some money as well; many people's lives have been lost or devasted by this disaster.

    i think they should donate 1 game's salary to the cause.. that would make more sense don't u think? Jalen Rose makes like 15 million this season, if he scores 10 points that's $10,000... that's like chump change to him.

    Dikembe just gave $10,000,000 of his own money to his efforts in Africa. Now THAT is charity.
