Whether you are religious or not, an article like this is something that is great to see. Especially since most of his co-workers would never do something like this...

Shawn, I just finished this article and I was just about to post the link. Great read. Great guy. It is guys like this that we should have on the side of our shoes. Job well done, Mr. Redd.

I'm not a religious person, and I hate the NBA. That being said, that is one of the best stories I've read in a long time. It's good to see a professional athlete with a heart that's bigger than his mouth.

Incredible.

There some really classy young players in the NBA. BZ to Michael Redd.

It is very refreshing. Especially given the image of most NBA players right now.

This young man has my respect for 1) honoring his father and 2) honoring his God. Not to mention his generosity.

Sure he has millions and he can afford it. But so do plenty of others and they haven't done it.

Well, I'm a Believer, and love and follow the Lord, the scriptures, and living scripturally, but not "religious" in the way some have portrayed it in recent years. This is a tremendous act of love from a son to a father, and from a Believer to his Lord. Makes a sharp contrast to the selfishness of many of the recent professional sports figures of late doesn't it. I love to see Believers do good things for the church without seeking any attention. Gifts should be a personal thing. Tuck

tucker lost his lucky sevens, hows that

What a great story about a great man.

Thanks, MACS.
