  • In January 2025, Lakers star Anthony Davis donated $20,000 to Rohanโ€ฏAli, a longtime Lakers videographer, whose childhood home in Altadena was destroyed by the L.A. wildfires
  • His teammate, Jarred Vanderbilt, also donated $4,000, helping support Ali’s family as they begin the rebuilding process

๐Ÿšซ Clearing the Misconception

  • The figure was $20K, not $20โ€ฏmillion โ€” a common numerical confusion, but the smallest misplaced zero makes a huge difference!
  • This generous act alleviated immediate costs like housing, replacement of belongings, and transport โ€” a true show of compassion in the face of tragedy .

๐Ÿ’ฌ Why It Matters

  • Though a smaller amount than $20M, $20K from a superstar like Davis still packs a big impact, both practically and emotionally, for an NBA staffer starting over.
  • It reflects how modern athletes can use their influence meaningfullyโ€”especially in supporting communities during crises like wildfires.
