Overlooked postive role models for young inner city kids, or any kid for that matter.

Too often we focus on the negative idiots pro sports. While it seems sometimes the negative outweighs the positive, here is a guy that has stayed on the positive since he started..

 

 

Often overlooked

With no father....a HS education....little training, but lots of raw talent....and very few role models.....they handed this young poor kid $420,000 per week, at the age of 18.

Married his high school sweetheart. Never arrested. Never used drugs. Never humiliated his spouse with side chic stories. No outside babies.

Never in the news with so much as a parking ticket. Excellent father. Heavily involved with his kid's activities. One of the GOAT.

14 years later. Same dude. Same maturity. Same wife. Same family. Reputation intact. Now earning close to $2 million per week.
