After spending their summer on Walt Disney World property, NBA players have decided to give back to the cast members who made their stay in Orlando great.
According to Gabrielle Russon and Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel, the National Basketball Players Association is donating $50,000 to a local, union-run food bank for laid-off Disney World employees. The food bank has been in danger of closing due to lack of funds, but the NBPA's donation will keep it running for at least another month.
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic, who is entering his ninth season with the franchise, applauded the donation.
