Happy Mother's Day.

I was just sifting through a few sports pages and thought these were pretty interesting, on the topic of mothers and family.

An incredible story about Chris Andersen and his mom raising him from backwoods Texas. Apparently, despite her bending over backwards to raise him out of destitution, he rejected her as soon as he entered the NBA, leaving her only with empty promises. Pretty sad.

I was not a CP3 fan until I watched this video. I had respect for his fantasy stats, but this changed my mind. His grandpa is murdered the day after he signs with Wake Forest, and the next game he scores 61 points, one for each year his grandpa lived. The intentionally missed foul shot at the end is touching too.
