It’s good to see a young man who has graduated college and seeing his dreams come true as a major basketball player remembering the good his parents have done for him by vowing to return the favor which should have them very comfortable for the rest of their lives.

Grace was busted in Scottsdale, Arizona on Memorial Day.

He had been reportedly seen weaving in and out of the lanes about 1 am when cops stopped him. Grace admitted he had consumed two glasses of MacCallan Scotch, a potent and expensive brand. He said he had the second glass just five minutes before being stopped which obviously was a very bad idea.
