with Antawn Jamison of the Washington Wizzards today. It was part of a community project my church was helping with that Jamison sponsored. He was born in Shreveport. In 6 hours 50 people built a huge playground in a subdivision right next door to a home for under-privileged kids. I was able to get an auto-graph, skake hands and actually talk with him and joke around with him as we worked. He is a very cool, down-to-earth individual.
Now, other than this just being a cool event that people here would appreciate, this thread comes with a message. At present, the one thing that connects the members of this site with any pro athlete is obviously love of a game; add love for your fellow man to that list. In a week I'm going to go back to that playground, and far more valuble then the autograph I recieved from an awesome athlete, will be the smiles on the faces of the children playing there.
