Charles Barkley donates $45,000 for Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon's water project in Africa

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/f ... /39493051/

The NBA on TNT crew welcomed Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon to their set inside Fiserv Forum Friday night, after Brogdon scored 14 points in a blowout win over the Toronto Raptors. Brogdon, who recently returned from a plantar fasciitis injury, was given the chance to speak about his non-profit organization Hoops2o, which installs clean wells for communities in need in Africa.

"We basically build clean water wells in East Africa and Tanzania," Brogdon said. "So every summer I go over there. I raise money through the season, I have four other guys in the NBA who are helping me raise money on different teams, and I'm just trying to raise as much money as I can to build more wells. And then I go visit the people in Africa and see the impact it has."

Charles Barkley asked how much it costs to build a well and immediately pledged the $45,000 necessary. Shaquille O'Neal suggested Brogdon name it "the Chuck well."

I love the Chobani ceo and his story is a fantastically awesome American dream story.

Neither did I, but on the Eastern side of the island there's a like 6-8 mile wide stretch of forest/jungle That has no roads or towns, just like scattered hiking trails. Can get lost in a jungle easily.

Simone Biles is simply spectacular. Look at the height on her dismount. She could dunk over Dusan.
