J.J. Watt tweets out photo of Kansas City high school basketball team – KCTV Kansas City

February 14, 2021 by LPP Reporter

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) — A Kansas City high school received a bit of a shoutout from former Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt on Saturday.

Watt, released by the Texans on Friday following a request, tweeted Saturday morning about a “flood of donations” to the Watt Foundation, which assists schools nationwide.

One of the pictures in Watt’s tweet was the University Academy Gryphons boys basketball team:

Waking up this morning to a flood of $99 donations to @WattFoundation from Houston and cities all over the country (presumably attempts at bribes, judging by the messages attached with some 😂)Kids all over the country will benefit from your generosity.I’m truly thankful.🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/FEayOgrh9n

The most common dollar amount in the donations was $99, which matches Watt’s jersey.
