In a stunning act of selflessness, University of North Carolina basketball legend James Worthy has donated his entire $5.5 million bonus to charities focused on homelessness, youth development, and mental health support. Worthy, a Hall of Famer and NBA champion, made the announcement during a heartfelt press conference, where he emphasized the urgent need for compassion and community investment in today’s divided world.
“This isn’t about me—it’s about doing what’s right,” Worthy said. “I’ve been blessed, and now it’s time to be a blessing to others who have nothing.”
The donation will fund shelters, transitional housing, job training programs, and youth outreach initiatives in both North Carolina and Los Angeles, where Worthy starred for the Lakers. Nonprofits and advocacy groups hailed the move as a rare and powerful gesture of leadership and humanity.
Social media erupted with praise, calling Worthy a true role model in an age often dominated by self-interest. At a time when public figures are scrutinized for their wealth, James Worthy’s selfless act redefines what it means to give back—and reminds the world what true greatness really looks like.
