Kemba Walker: NBA Draft Pick

With all the bad news going on about the sports world and especially athletes who are constantly in trouble with the law and courts it’s good to see one player devoting himself to a worthy venture.

New NBA draft pick Kemba Walker who is going to the Charlotte Bobcats is reported as saying his new found fame and fortune will be going to taking care of his parents, mom and dad.

That’s better than fast cars and fast women, drugs, and gambling like far too many sports stars nowadays.

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.

Kids nowadays need good role models as far too many top celebrities, politicians, and the high profile have fallen off and corrupted the trust of the public.

Sports stars don’t have to be role models, they don’t have to be upstanding citizens of impeccable moral standards like politicians, but to see one acknowledge his parents and their good deeds is a sign of hope for young people that the straight and narrow path can be just as rewarding if not more than the fast lane foolishness of celebrities and politicians who just can’t seem to get their lives straight.
