Bismack Biyombo donates NBA salary for hospital: ‘It motivates me to play for something bigger’

Several months after the unexpected death of his father, Francois, Bismack Biyombo joined the Phoenix Suns with two goals in mind: Use his salary to help build a hospital in his dad’s honor in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and win an NBA championship.

Biyombo explained why he decided to donate his salary, why he believes the Suns can win the championship, what he and the NBPA are working towards in the next CBA deal, and more in an interview with HoopsHype.

Editorial note: This interview has been condensed for clarity.
