The Guardian profiles Chicago Bull (and Brit) Luol Deng - Britain's secret superstar

The article profiles Luol Deng, one of the top players on the Chicago Bulls. He's a Sudanese refugee who settled in London and worked his way into the NBA.

Article looks at a sports camp he runs every summer for british kids, many of whom don't have much money. This paragraph boggles the mind:

The Deng family alone has driven the funding and organisation of this sporting and educational week. Many of the 260 children present have been granted free entry, but this is no media-savvy merging of the corporate world and a charitable cause. No sporting or government organization came forward to share the family's costs. When doubts arose last month over whether they would be able to overcome the dearth of any outside financial help, Luol simply topped up the large sum he had already given the camp.

Did anyone else out there know this guy was this cool?
