NBA Day of Caring – All Star Weekend 2008
I must admit that when I first heard the NBA was doing a work day as part of the All Star Weekend, I thought it would be a little cheezy.. I imagined that it would be simply a photo op but MAN was I wrong..
What a rewarding way to spend my morning. As we drove through the neighborhoods of destroyed homes, I knew that today would be a worthwhile event. It’s amazing that almost three years after katrina, people are still living in FEMA trailers behind their mangled homes.
With hundreds of other friends and family of the NBA, we jumped right to work helping refurbish homes in New Orleans.
At the end of our shift, we had painted almost 4 complete houses. What a great way to start the NBA All-Star Weekend.
