“I challenge each guy to allocate ten percent of their salary to the communities that they’ve come from. Ten percent. Think of the agent. Ten percent and this dude just makes a phone call. He makes a phone call. We only make up six percent of the country, but we make up 74 percent of the NBA. So that $90 million per team per year per salary cap goes to 74 percent of the African-American men in our league, which means we are the richest black men in America as a group. No question about it. So now you can make a social-economic impact, which creates empowerment and creates education and opportunities that allow you to skip past all of the things that go on for a big group. It would allow a big group to skip past certain things that they have to deal with now. I think that’s the responsibility. Take 10 percent, allocate it to those communities. I didn’t say donate it. There’s a difference. Allocate it and create programs. I will help you put programs together that you want to do. But you have an antidote and a social and economic responsibility to do it as an NBA player.”

That’s a BIG challenge put forward by 51 year-old Two-time NBA champion Kenny Smith, who is also the son of a detective.

He made the challenge talking to CBS Sports Radio’s Tiki and Tierney on Tuesday. He was talking about race relations and police brutality and touched on a lot of interesting subjects.
