On January 3, 2022, Billy Biesho welcomed his first game of the season. He has not been able to find a job since the end of his contract with the Hornets last season, and Ayton's injury has led the Suns to sign him.
In that game, Biyongbo shot 5-of-7 and had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. After the match, Biyombo said it was his first time playing since his father died in August last year, and he was full of emotions.
Before the 10 years of his career, he would normally receive text messages from his father before the game, and not receiving them today feels very different. "I'm looking for ways to understand this new life," Billyon said. ”
With Paul's blessing, Biyombo has played very well at the Suns, averaging 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game so far this season. Recently, in the case of Ayton's return to Paul's injury, Biyombo did not get much playing time.
After a ten-day probationary period on a short contract, the Suns finally decided to keep Biyombo, giving him an annual salary of $1.366 million a year. But recently, with his future uncertain for next season, Billy Byombo announced that he would donate all of his salary for the year.
In an interview, Billyonbo announced that he would donate his entire salary for the 2021-2022 season to build a hospital in his hometown of Congo. Biyombo said the hospital was built in honor of his father.
Billymbeau is Congolese, a country that most people are not familiar with, but you must also know that it is bound to be full of chaos and poverty. Bi Yongbo is lucky, his family is well-off, the eldest of seven children in the family, playing basketball purely out of interest.
Biyombo's uncle played in the Congo semi-professional league and embarked on the road to basketball through his uncle Biyombo. At the age of 16, Biyombo played in the professional league in Qatar.
In 2011, Biyongbo participated in the Nike Basketball Summit, and in the game against the United States, Biyongbo scored 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks in 28 minutes, winning the first triple-double in the history of the summit, and he was selected with the 11th pick more than a month later.
When Billyon was drafted by the NBA, some people around him told him you had to consolidate your position in the NBA before you thought about doing something for your hometown. But Biyombo said why wait?
From every summer he entered the NBA, he returned to Congo with a new reward program. He built schools in three cities, giving students across the country better options.
He certainly didn't forget about basketball, he renovated a lot of basketball courts, and he built the country's first indoor basketball court. Biyombo remembers that when he was a child, a heavy rain could fill the outdoor stadium with mud.
When the outbreak broke out in 2020, The Billyon Foundation donated about $1 million worth of supplies to hospitals and clinics, including 10,000 masks, 780 chemical suits and medical beds, as well as some other equipment.
When he signed the big contract, he was giving back to his hometown. When he fell into the end and could only sign a basic salary, he did not forget here. Over the years, he has donated more than just a year's salary. His pure heart will one day be rewarded.
