Former Lakers forward Slava Medvedenko is selling his two NBA championship rings, won alongside Shaq and Kobe, to raise money for his home country Ukraine.
“We want to restore gyms because the Russian army bombed more than a hundred schools,” Medvedenko told The AP during a phone interview.
“In this moment, I just decided, ‘Why do I need these rings if they’re just sitting in my safe?’” Medvedenko said. “I just recognize I can die."
