NBA All-Star Game - benefits for HBCU's -- March 7, 2021

 The game played at Atlanta, GA begins at 8 p.m. (television coverage on TNT and TBS)

The NBA and the players union are donating more than $3 million to aid historically Black colleges and universities, much of it decided by the outcome of the game.

Team LeBron will play on behalf of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, while Team Durant represents the United Negro College Fund.

Both organizations will receive $500,000 to start.  Another $450,000 will be divvied up based on the winners of the first, second, and third quarters.  Finally, the team that reaches the target score to win the game will ensure $300,000 for its cause.
