We all know that a certain someone, who shall remain unnamed, wrote a really dumb article on how nobody wants to play with Kobe. Well, Durant decided to chime in on that again.

Carlos Boozer's effort to help raise money in the fight against sickle cell disease isn't just a charitable endeavor. It's a personal mission.

Boozer's oldest son Carmani was born with sickle cell in 2006. An innovative treatment helped cure Carmani.

About a year after Carmani was born, Boozer and his now ex-wife had twins, Cameron and Cayden. Doctors froze the blood of the twins' umbilical cord. Cameron was a match with Carmani for a bone-marrow transplant. Doctors used stem cells from Cameron's cord blood in the transplant with Carmani.

In the video above, Boozer tells the story in more depth and explains why he's excited to be involved with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

According to the National Institute of Health, sickle cell disease "is estimated to occur in 1 in 500 African Americans."

To make a donation as part of Boozer's campaign, go to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital website.

ALL AROUND JEANIE BUSS' office are reminders of the 35-year run of the Buss family. The 10 championship trophies sit in the window overlooking the practice court. A painting of the 2000 championship team hangs on the far wall. Paula Abdul's "Laker Girl" outfit is framed behind her desk. A bronze likeness of her late father, Dr. Jerry Buss, stares back at her from across the room.

It is an enormous legacy to live up to. The Lakers didn't just win 10 championships in the three decades Jerry Buss owned the team -- they won the hearts of a city. "I can't tell you how many letters I get from grandmothers who say, 'It's the only thing I can talk to my 15-year-old grandson about," Jeanie says. "The Lakers are more than just a basketball team to this city. They're part of this community."
