Many athletes including basketball and football players hold camps for kids to teach them their special skills.  The athletes we see today often attended camps that past legends held and the tradition continues with each generation.  While some athletes hold free camps for underprivileged kids, others charge a substantial fee.  Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett is part of the former group and he holds a free camp; he wasn’t fond of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, who charges $2,000 and $2,250 (overnight) for his camp.

“I see a lot of different athletes come through Hawaii whether it’s Steph Curry or whoever it is,” Bennett told KHON 2. “They all come here and it makes me mad, because I live in this community and I understand this community — that there’s so many kids who can’t afford to pay such a high amount of money. In my mind it’s like, how much money do you need before you start giving back for free? And I think a lot of athletes should start focusing on that.”

“If you do have a camp and you charge money for it, you need to make sure that money that you take from this community, you give back to the kids that are paying for the camp. These are the kids that live here. When you leave Hawaii and you go back to wherever you’re at, or you come here and you go back from this vacation you leave with a piece of paradise, but these people still live here every day.”

Stephen Curry responded back to Bennett by trolling his own camp and stating it doesn’t cost $2,000 to attend his brother’s camp, Seth Curry.
