Rudy Gobert makes his heart speak. Pending a possible resumption of the NBA season, the French pivot of Jazz makes a donation of 100,000 euros to Secours populaire français, as we learn in the columns of L'Equipe . “This is a time when we talk a lot about the virus and the people who are physically affected. We forget the modest people who find themselves even more in difficulty, especially children below the poverty line, regrets the international tricolor of 27 years, in words relayed by the sports daily. A cause that has always been close to my heart. ”
And to continue: "Half of the money we donate will go to the islands affected by cyclones and earthquakes (Dominique, Guadeloupe where his father is from, Haiti ...), the other will be used for operations in France." The first NBA coronavirus positive player, Rudy Gobert had already donated $ 500,000 to help research the Covid-19.
