Dude is auctioning off his championship rings to help Ukraine (his home country). All the BS flying around these days, figured it’d be nice to hear something:
A) Real.
B) Interesting.
C) Uplifting. Nice to see an ex-Laker having an impact.
FWIW he keeps in touch with Mad Dog Madson and Luke Walton. Good stuff. Also, the Lakers sent him sports equipment to help rebuild gyms and sport complexes destroyed in Russian air strikes. Good stuff.

Good post, Jamie. Gotta love Slava for sure.
While I am not a fan of players auctioning off their championship paraphernalia, this story is certainly uplifting and inspirational. Man, I wish there was no war and suffering of the innocent people. But as John F Kennedy famously said: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” My hat off to Slava, and thanks for bringing this to our attention, Jamie.
