UConn freshman Liam McNeeley GOES OFF on the road against Creighton 🔥

Dirk attending Luka’s debut in LA (especially while the Mavs play a home game) is about as loud of a statement without words that you can make from him
go off, Luka
Kyrie's generosity is such an incredibly admirable part (of many) of his personality. Multiple examples of this type of giving have surfaced during his time with the Mavs that I'm aware of (and others we probably don't know about).
I wouldn't make the blanket statement "media won't tell you this." For example, multiple credentialed media members stayed after a recent Mavs game to cover his meet and greet with individuals who came to a game for an Indigenous Heritage Night event. There's a lot of humility and virtuosity in keeping your philanthropy discreet as Kai often does...but there are things that happen through Anta for example that are well-publicized. And it's OK to put your philanthropy out there as well because there's merit to raising awareness.
Bottom line, there's no right or wrong way to share (or not share) how and what you give. The right thing is just doing it in the first place.
