When we get blessed, it always feels good to give back, ask any successful athlete, businessman, and entrepreneur, they will say the same.

LeBron James is no less of a philanthropist. He has given back millions, has his own foundation, and his iPromise school in his hometown is a model of how to give back to educating the next generation.

So when he wins he likes to give back or in this case, he likes to add to the gifting spirit. Drake had just won a few million off Stake, the online gaming site.
