Okay, so I might be a little biased, because D-Mase is one of mine, but there really aren't many in sports who are classier or have a bigger heart than Desmond Mason.

There are definitely some real good guys in the league. The two that really pop to mind for me are Vlade Divac and David Robinson.

Go Desmond!!!

It's kinda weird to think of a guy from my town (good ol' Hachie) making it big like he has. One of my friends used to go over to his house and shoot hoops with him when he was still play'n hoops at my high school. I'm just glad he hasn't let his fame go to his head.

Ah, I would think that Vlade is an obvious one, seeing as how he won some award from the NBA last year for being so giving, etc. Anyhow, he gives massive amounts of money to charities, and has spent a whole lot of money to help in Serbia with the rebuilding and lost homes and whatnot from the war. He's quite the giving guy.

What about C-Webb? Oh no, wait. He took money (darned favorite player).

Hahaha... Webber is a very nice guy from everything I have heard... but he surely does not fit into this thread.

Yes, Divac is very giving. So is David Robinson, so are a ton of other NBA players. There are a lot of good guys in the league....and lots of bad ones too....

I doubt that's true, or we would hear a lot more about it.

But does that make him a Christian, is that what we are saying?

as for Webber, he quoted scripture a few weeks ago...makes me wonder...
