Various NBA players have donated their own money to pay arena staff while the NBA is shutting down, and they’re getting some high-level recognition for it.
Former President Barack Obama shared a news story about the various players on Saturday and thanked several of them by name for their efforts to help others.
A shout out to Kevin, Giannis, Zion, Blake, Steph and all the players, owners and organizations who are setting a good example during a challenging time. A reminder that we’re a community, and that each of us has an obligation to look out for each other. https://t.co/cv1RZi9GGL

This has become a very positive trend around the league, and some of these players are going above and beyond to take care of staff. The recognition is well-deserved at a time like this.
