2008 is a special year for China. On May 12, an earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred in Wenchuan, which caused grief all over the country and worried everyone at home and abroad. This is a devastating disaster in human history. We in China will never forget that painful memory, and that devastating blow made each of us shed tears. Our hearts are bleeding, and each of us doesn't want to look back at the disaster, because we are afraid, we can't bear to look directly at the disaster, and we dare not think about it. That merciless earthquake destroyed our beautiful home, destroyed many families and made many children homeless.
Of course, many people saw this situation and extended a helping hand to help our compatriots. According to statistics, after the Wenchuan earthquake, the NBA donated more than 2 billion yuan, and the accumulated donation amount reached 1 100 million yuan. In addition to the generosity of superstars such as James, Kobe Bryant and O 'Neill, team owners also actively participated.
On the other hand, it is difficult to get support from all sides. This sentence is valid at home and abroad. The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 shocked the world. China launched rescue activities at the first time, and some foreign countries immediately provided support. Some famous social superstars also generously provided solutions to help the affected refugees get out of the haze faster.
People from all walks of life have paid the price for this. Of course, NBA superstars also took the Wenchuan earthquake to heart. As the first basketball player in China, Yao Ming retired, but his energy is still great. After retiring, he became the president of the Basketball Association, Wenchuan.
James was an NBA player at that time. After consulting with his team in time, he took out $2 million to praise domestic fans, which shows that James' fans in China are also increasing. We will never forget the caring people in our country!
Speaking of Kobe, I believe everyone's heart is very painful. He also paid attention to the Wenchuan earthquake very early. According to statistics, among NBA stars, Kobe made the largest donation, with the first donation of $5 million. This is not over. Later, Kobe personally came to the disaster area and donated 5 million. What Lakers legend Kobe Bryant did at that time moved China fans very much. Immediately after the Wenchuan earthquake, he donated $5 million to help the people in the disaster area. Later, he personally went to Sichuan to visit the people in the disaster area and organized the foundation to donate again. His behavior is very commendable.
In addition, the league superstar Jordan donated 6.5438+0.9 million to China, O 'Neill donated 2 million, Garnett donated 6.5438+0.4 million, Marbury donated 6.5438+0.3 million, Van Gundy donated 6.5438+0.2 million, Nowitzki donated 800,000, Buckley donated 500,000, and Lakers owner Bass. We should always remember their contribution to the people in the disaster area.
