Russell Westbrook scored 41 points in February’s NBA All-Star Game in leading the West to a 163-158 win over the East.
Along with a trophy, the Oklahoma City guard also earned a car. But Westbrook, one of the NBA’s best players, did not keep the ride.
Instead he donated it to a single mother named Kerstin Gonzales. According to SI.com, a local charity recommended Gonzales get the car, and Westbrook was more than happy to hand over the keys.

Russell wanted to honor “all the hard work she's done to keep her family together. I just want to be able to help others any way I can.”
