The Rockets have recently shown how much more important life is than just basketball, as James Harden and Russell Westbrook have each given back to the community in different ways.
Westbrook opened up the Westbrook Brownstein Green Tech program, and Harden donated 10K to a struggling family in the Bahamas. Not only that, Harden also donated 240K to rebuild Houston basketball courts affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Capela partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters, which is a non-profit organization that provides youth mentoring programs to children and families.
