That was class. Thanks for posting the link.
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

Good to see there are people who care more about their fellow man than a game. Great story! :D

A little spark of compassion in a world full of darkness and despair, that was.

Such a moving story, especially, to me, the part where he shows up there to be with his second family in his darkest hour and then to have such grace shown him by his opposing teammates.

That was a great story. When I read the headline about missing free throws and good sportsmanship, I thought it was gonna be another one of those BS not running the score up stories. I was pleasantly surprised.

Oops, don't know know what I did. Trying to edit teammates to be team and must have duplicated it.

I love hearing these kind of sports stories. It's so refreshing especially after all the over paid, egomaniacal, self absorbed pro athlete stories you always here about.
