Kevin Love donates money to UCLA, will have building named after him

One of the great things that you learn while following the NBA is just how generous it's players can be. Whether it be the NBA Cares campaign where they donate time and money to revitalizing communities, or giving back to where they grew up, there are countless examples of NBA generosity.

Kevin Love will match the historic donation that Russell Westbrook made last December according to an essay he wrote for The Player's Tribune about his time at UCLA. While the actual amount hasn't been disclosed, it was said that Westbrook's donation was the largest they had ever received from a basketball alumni in school history.
