The NBA announced Friday that it will donate the proceeds from Collins’ jersey sales to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and the Matthew Shepard Foundation. The league will also auction Collins’ autographed, game-worn jerseys to benefit the same organizations.
“I’m thrilled to work with the league to support two fantastic organizations, both of which work tirelessly to ensure LGBT youth get the resources and assistance they need to be successful in life,” the Brooklyn Nets center said.

David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire
