    Do good and good things will happen. Kudos to Paul for bringing awareness to the disaster, and congrats for a great game tonight.

    99% of the people that make these statements donate ZERO money. It's a shame how guys like you b!tch about rich people donating thousands of dollars why you are sitting on your ass donating nothing and typing **** online about them.

    Give poor people 1$ every time a person like you b!tches about a star not donating "enough" while you are doing nothing...the sum would be in the billions.

    ^^Sweet move.

    Good for Pau, hats off to him. Btw I work in an international organization with plenty of Filipinos, and none of them seem to care about what's going on with the Typhoon. Kind of weird.

    Donation is never about how much; it's the action that counts.

    I donated a small amount for the Phils typhoon relief. Unless you had traveled to the rural areas of Phils, you will never realize how much 24K USD means to them. You can practically build FIVE concrete houses for five homeless families. 24K might not mean much to Pau, but it will make a world of difference on the receiving ends.

    I'm saddened for the people of Phils who suffered from this devastating natural catastrophe. Rural area Filipinos work hard for a simple life. Their average monthly income is 1/20 of American. Most never dream of new cars, smart phones, vacations, or designer's products. What they desire most are nothing but life's essential needs, which most of us take them for granted.

    And Stephon Marbury is currently broke.

    You are acting like this is all of the money Pau is going to give away this year. Most people have certain charities they give money to every year. They already account for it in their budget.

    When something like this disaster happens, people are giving EXTRA that they never planned on giving.

    Pau just gave $24,000 away for free that he never planned on giving this year.

    Most donations are those $10 donations that you give through a text message.

    Most people give about $10 - $50.

    Pau gave $24,000.

    I think he more than did his part.

    Marbury is not broke. How do you not know what you are talking about? He's living a very good life now according to reports.

    What does playing in China have to do with whether or not he's broke?

    from that article seems like he remade himself and humbled himself. Also probably since he has a new 3 year contract. I assume he's smart with his money now.

    I want to see Dwight do something like that, but it would probably result in a turnover or get blocked.

    This looks more like an Asik move than a Dwight move.
