Sometimes athletes...and teams just do good stuff because they can. A prime example of this is what the New Jersey Nets did today for paralyzed Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand.

The Nets in conjunction with guard Devin Harris's 34 Ways to Assist Foundation donated $75,000 to the Eric LeGrand fund.

The fund, established by Rutgers university is to help LeGrand and his family pay for what is going to be a lengthy and expensive rehab.

Big props to the Nets for doing this. We hope that more teams will contribute and help those that need it.
