    Montrezl Harrell Pulls motorist from burning car

    http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2015...saves-driver-montrezl-harrell-houston-rockets

    The Houston Rockets' 2015 second round draft pick, Montrezl Harrell, drew people's attention when he posterized a Sixers player in Summer League. Now, he's drawing attention for happenings off the court.

    According to University of Louisville's SID, the former Louisville basketball star kicked in a window to help remove a person from their burning car.

    I wouldn't say lock it up, but I think a merger is in order.

    I think this eye witness account from your link is new though:

    A U of L student, Aaron Vance, tells WDRB he was at PNC near 3rd and Cardinal when the wreck happened. "I was at the other side at the ATM and ran over to the scene once we heard the wreck happen. That is when we saw Trez first on the scene helping to break the glass and getting the person out of the car," Vance recalled.

    Better than less Rockets friendly version from multiple sources:

    Rockets first round draft pick, Harrell kicks in car window and pulls driver out of car in response to traffic incident.

    He was already a fan favorite at Louisville. Now, they'll probably erect a statue of him on their campus. This is great PR for the Rockets.

    OMG why is he helping people in danger instead of being on the court working on his game.

    I guess there must be some minor holdup on his contract.

    I wouldn't mind. That's a very honorable way to get taken out.

    He's a human being before he's a basketball player. So major props from me.
