    Who else has even been around long enough? Les Alexander been doin' this since the '90s, never been anywhere in Houston without his checkbook. $10 million is legendary.

    Has harden donated anything at all? Even CP3 donated a bit last I saw. Harden just got a massive extension and nothing yet from what i can see. Pretty bad look.

    I am so thankful for everyone that has donated whatever they have been able to do. The amount of recovery and rebuilding that will need to be done is going to be a massive effort and every little bit helps. For all the people out there that don't have that much money and are able to just give a little bit- $1 or $5 or $10, thank you. It all adds up and it all helps.

    With that said.. Les? You dog! 10 million? You outdo yourself and the city of Houston is so grateful for such a generous donation.

    Will this disaster have a big impact on Rockets price?

    Not likely ... but if the fan base were to shrink because people move away ... then yes.

    its possible to appreciate all contributions. Houston needs us, make your contribution and stop worrying what your neighbor is giving.

    sincere thanks to all who give time, money, clothes, food, etc! And go Les!

    I dislike Harden as much as the next guy, but it's a worse look to sit here behind a keyboard and discuss anyone's donations / efforts right now.

    Charity isn't sitting and pointing at what you feel others should be doing. It starts with yourself.

    Sorry, I think you are completely out of line.

    The only color people need to see is green. The color of money going to the cause. JJ Watt is a good
    representative of Houston. I don't care what you say.

    Maybe Les realized he is only limited to 50% deduction limit to his adjusted gross income and upped his contribution

    Just kidding, thank you Les

    Lots of people don't announce their charitable donations.

    He has donated a lot more to Ryan Anderson.

    Nevertheless, very nice of Les.
