Michael Jordan Donates $2 Million To Food Shelter

Michael Jordan is one of the most prestigious athletes of all time...

And it appears his heart is just as big as his mighty frame.

In 1993, things were looking pretty sweet for Michael Jordan.

The incredible athlete had the world at his feet and made a lot off of his incredible talent.

And now, it seems like the star plans to pay it back to people in need...

He's definitely feeling the holiday spirit!

Of course, he's still known as the GOAT in basketball...

It's likely no one will ever top him.

Jordan began his professional basketball career when he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984.

Nevertheless, he proved he was one to watch - breaking new ground during the '86-'87 season.

By the late '80s, the Chicago Bulls were quickly becoming a huge force in the basketball world...

The incredible Netflix documentary The Last Dance covered his entire professional career - alongside his tumultuous personal life.

And the NBA legend has now gone and shocked everyone...

After it turns out the star has donated a large sum to Feeding America. And people have shared their thoughts on his generosity...

That's right, the NBA legend just donated a staggering $2 million to help those struggling to feed their families over the thanksgiving period.

He said: "In these challenging times and in a year of unimaginable difficulty due to COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to pause and give thanks. I am proud to be donating additional proceeds from 'The Last Dance' to Feeding America and its member food banks in the Carolinas in Chicago to help feed America’s hungry."

"Feeding America" works with two-hundred food banks and 60,000 food partners all over the country, so they were understandably amazed by his donation.
