Air Jordan to the rescue.
Michael Jordan has donated $2 million of earnings from his critically acclaimed 10-part ESPN documentary series "The Last Dance" to local food banks in the Carolinas and Chicago, Variety reported.
"In these challenging times and in a year of unimaginable difficulty due to COVID-19, it's more important than ever to pause and give thanks," Jordan said in a statement. "I am proud to be donating additional proceeds from 'The Last Dance' to Feeding America and its member food banks in the Carolinas and Chicago to help feed America's hungry."
"An incredible gift to be thankful for — NBA legend Michael Jordan is donating $2 million to help our neighbors facing hunger! #TheLastDance Every action makes a difference. Join Michael & visit http://FeedingAmerica.org/COVID19 to learn how you can donate or volunteer this holiday season," Feeding America tweeted in response to the gift.
The sports legend reportedly pocketed upwards of $4 million for his participation in the Emmy Award-winning docuseries chronicling his final season with the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan previously announced he would donate all of his earnings from the series to Friends of the Children, a mentorship nonprofit dedicated to breaking the cycle of generational poverty.
The Brooklyn-born billionaire also recently pledged to donate $100 million over the next 10 years to organizations dedicated to fighting for racial equality.
The philanthropic efforts followed his statement condemning George Floyd's police-involved killing by Minneapolis police on May 26, where he wrote on Twitter: "Black lives matter. This isn't a controversial statement. Until the ingrained racism that allows our country's institutions to fail is completely eradicated, we will remain committed to protecting and improving the lives of Black people."
