For many Americans, medical expenses are quite expensive. Bills of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars have greatly influenced patients to refuse treatment. NBA players can earn huge salaries while playing, but many veterans cannot maintain their fortune after retirement. That’s why many players after “retirement” have difficulty accessing health care services.

Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul have quietly signed an agreement with the NBA to provide health care for retired NBA players. Although it is a nice gesture for those who have contributed to the NBA, this agreement has never been disclosed by the above mentioned stars. It was only when Mitch Richmond, an NBA legend, shared that fans became aware of this meaningful agreement.

“Jordan, LeBron, Wade and Paul signed an agreement to help us (NBA veterans) get free health care. Without LeBron and friends, we would not have access to these services. This service is free”, said legend Mitch Richmond. Richmond is a member of the Hall of Fame, but financial difficulties prevented him from getting the best medical care. The funds and support from Jordan, LeBron, Wade and Paul have supported many former NBA players including Richmond.

“The Players Association has changed a lot of things. People don’t completely understand individuals like Wade, LeBron or Paul, but they have helped a lot of retired players,” praised Mitch Richmond. praise. Chris Paul was the president of the Players Association from 2013 to 2020 and his decisions brought many benefits to the players, even after they retired.

In 2015, the sudden passing of two NBA legends, Darryl Dawkins and Moses Malone, made the league realize the importance of taking care of those who have contributed. That’s why president Adam Silver worked with the Players Association to find solutions. In early 2016, an agreement was signed by the above mentioned superstars to provide health care for NBA veterans.

The beautiful actions of Jordan, LeBron, Wade and Paul lasted for 5 years in silence, before Mitch Richmond expressed his gratitude. Not only having great influence on the football field, LeBron and his friends also aim for outside values. Medical support for former players is worthy of honor as they show gratitude to those who have devoted themselves to the tournament.

Currently, Jordan and Wade have retired and become successful businessmen, while LeBron James and Chris Paul continue to pursue championships. What they have in common is that they can take advantage of their great influence to bring good values together.
