NBA star Kyrie Irving has purchased a home from the family of George Floyd.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, CNN reported that a friend of Floyd’s family, Stephen Jackson, revealed to The Rematch that the Brooklyn Nets point guard had purchased a home for the family. In the interview, Jackson – a former NBA player – began by discussing shows of support for Floyd’s 7-year-old daughter, Gianna, following her father’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police in May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I think [about] the fact that he’s getting so much love, not just from us, but from people all over the world. I just keep doing 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 and make sure her next few days are the best,”<\/strong><\/em> Jackson said before briefly mentioning Irving’s generous gesture, as well as gifts from stars like Barbra Streisand and Lil Wayne.<\/p>\n

In a later statement, Jackson also added that Irving just “wanted to help George’s family”<\/strong><\/em> and “did so in a heartbeat”<\/strong><\/em> when they told him about their need for a home.<\/p>\n

In addition, Irving himself spoke about the gift during a press conference Tuesday saying he wanted to continue “[fulfilling] our purpose of serving many of the underserved communities.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Those don’t necessarily get the same attention from others,”<\/strong> <\/em>he said. “So, I’m just trying to do my part, that’s all.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
