Many NBA rookies use their first contract to splurge on cars, jewelry and other lavish items, but Chicago Bulls Matas Buzelis chose to go a different route.

Buzelis said he used his first NBA contract to pay for his sister's college tuition (20-second mark in video).

Buzelis is having a strong second season, putting up 15.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. The former first-round pick is well on his way to a big second contract, so perhaps he can use the money from that one a bit more selfishly after his generous gift to his sister.
