OT: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Zion Williamson among stars aiding arena workers

[Carnac]

“Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zion Williamson have joined other NBA stars saying they will make a donation to aid arena employees who will be unable to work while the NBA season is indefinitely suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Antetokounmpo tweeted Friday that he will pledge $100,000 to Fiserv Forum staff.”

Zion was already a fan/crowd favorite.” This act will make him even more popular. It will be interesting to see if other NBA players follow suit, and donate money to aid workers in their respective home court arenas.

A number of players -- including Blake Griffin and Sergei Bobrovsky --- and teams -- including the Red Wings, Tigers, Devils, Penguins and Panthers have also pledged to help their arena staff.

Nice gesture, but it seems to me that the owners should have stepped forward as soon as the suspension was announced. Shouldn’t fall on the players.

Mark Cuban did.

And now the Warriors are. Should have been immediate and universal.

My guess is Dolan will be the last hold out, just like he was the only owner who held out trying to play in front of a packed house of fans

It should be said Kevin Love of the Cavs was the one to begin this
