    my team recently got to the regional playoff final, and one of my team mates fathers has been in and out of hospital alot recently and hasnt been able to get to games. He was out of hospital for the final and his son told us about a plan his dad has, to get our logo and the date of the game tattooed on his arm if we win, as he has always supported and cared about the team.

    You can not beleive how inspiring it is and how pumped up we were for the game after that, we won by 4 and he’s getting the tatt in the next week or so.. just thought i’d share this as it reminded me of the story above to an extent and all i can say is cp3 will be so pumped up for this game now so san an better watch out.

    your own personal problems can all of a sudden seem so trivial…I’m glad theres people like Chris Paul in this world…Its a shame this kid didn’t have enough time left to have his dying wish fulfilled. Only by a few hours…wow

    Nice look by CP3 to do that! I like when the players do that. I think TNT did a segment where Kobe was doing some nice things for a Make A Wish family.

    It’s really a nice look when the stars do it in and of themselves.

    I remember Vernon Maxwell doing this for awhile when his own daughter died, was rooting extra hard for him those days.

    Way to look out for the youngin,but I dont think him and the owner were really crying.Sounds like a NBA cares commercial.I like the ones who do things like this on the low.

    thats a very nice gesture and it is even more incredible the face that cp3 had never met the kid. everyone talks how nice a dude cp3 is off the court and this just an example of what type of person he is.

    I work @ MD Anderson & to see kids with cancer is a hard pill to swallow. My brother always says “How can you work there?” I tell him you walk around that hosptial one day & I bet your life isn’t as bad as you would think.

    Great read, Go Spurs!

    A very sad & touching story. A straight class act by Chris.

    it makes me sick because i am bitter about the Hornets moving from Charlotte to New Orleans. To know that CP3 could be at home playing in the Carolinas. George Shinn is a disgrace to the human race.

    but props to CP3. Great great player.

    Quickly becoming my new favorite player- he has heart and talent, something missing is most of the players in the NBA today.

    Well I don’t know if CP and Shinn were really crying but I could see how it would make one cry. The kid said he wants to meet Jesus wearing his CP jersey for Christ sakes. I could see how that would hit a person. Especially one with children.
