Stephen Jackson says Kyrie Irving bought George Floyd’s family a house
As much of an impact as Kyrie Irving can make on the floor, Brooklyn’s point guard has shown time and time again that he can make an even bigger difference the court. Retired NBA forward Stephen Jackson shared the latest example of Irving’s generosity while discussing his late friend, George Floyd, on The Rematch with Etan Thomas.
“I’m just continuing to do what I said I was going to do. I said I was going to be my brother’s keeper and take care of his daughter, make sure that her next days are her best days,” Jackson said. “A lot of my friends [helped]. Kyrie Irving bought them a house. Lil Wayne’s manager bought them a Mercedes-Benz. Barbra Streisand gave them stock in Disney.”
Brooklyn’s point guard made major donations last year to varying causes, donating over a million dollars to help WNBA players who did not want to participate in their league’s restart, while also providing Feeding America with over $300,000 in relief.
