This may be common knowledge to some of you, but I was unaware of it and I like to see players give back to the programs that helped them along the way. http://espn.go.com/recruiting/s/kruseonnbainfl.html
yeah, there needs to be more publicity for these things, and less for iverson's diminishing jail time. i think fans should hear about every donation given by a player to a charity or organization. the ONLY thing i like about mark cuban is that he matches (or doubles, i forget) each fine he receives and makes donations to charities (w/o cursing).
It's nice to hear that Eddie is giving back to the community. He is a real nice guy. His problems in college are definetly in the past. I think that his brother died before that whole punching incident, so he might have been just all out of sorts because of that. I met him last year in New Jersey, at the Rockets-Nets game, and had a nice little conversation with him. He seemed kind of shy, but very nice and polite.
On top of that, I don't even think the punching incident was such the "problem child" thing some people made it out to be, and I thought that long before the Rocks were fortunate enough to nab him last year. I played a lot of ball once upon a time, and teamates do get in little scrapes, especially the competitive ones.
yeah like last week, this 9 year old girl kept hogging the ball and laughing at me every time i fell for her head fakes. if she was 12, i'd punch her in the head.
