Awesome. Love it. I saw a clip of kids taking jumpshots. Hope those guys aren't teaching them. Poor kids.
WB seems like a chill dude, just not a very good ball player anymore. Iirc Capela was an orphan. Good for them helping out
Not an orphan, his mother raised him for a while and just couldn't afford to take care of them any longer so put them in foster care. Apparently she was an extremely hard worker and just couldn't make it work, he paid off 20 years of her tax debts when he got drafted "In 2000, when Capela was 6, his mother, a Congolese immigrant with no other family in Geneva, found herself struggling. Despite waking before dawn to work the line at multiple factories, she couldn’t afford day care for her three sons, who shared a room in the family’s government-assisted apartment. She could barely afford the rent. On the verge of being homeless and wanting to help her children, she turned to a government program. “There was nothing pleasant about it,” Capela tells us, remembering the day his mother brought him and his older brother Landry, 10, to Pierre Grise, a school and group home just outside the city. Tears streamed down her face as she left her boys there with their scant possessions, a photograph of herself among them. Each weekend the brothers returned home to stay with their mom and older sibling Fabrice, 16. They had no money to do anything, so they watched TV—Walker, Texas Ranger, dubbed in French, was a favorite—and ate up their mother’s cooking."
