Bismack Biyombo donates NBA salary for hospital: ‘It motivates me to play for something bigger’

Biyombo explained why he decided to donate his salary, why he believes the Suns can win the championship, what he and the NBPA are working towards in the next CBA deal, and more in an interview with HoopsHype.
