stevegrab Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Great story. God bless the woman that took him in (without great financial resources) to save him from the troubled life his parents placed him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Great story, seems like a great kid with his feet on the ground. A local radio show was talking about the immense number of guys who fizzle out as potential NBA'ers that should have tried football. You know, that 6'6" guy that doesn't really have a jump shot, so he is more of an inside guy. That just doesn't fly in the NBA, obviously. Graham will play like that for years. Mega-stud, who may actually get better (scary) with more actual football tutelage. Didn't even play HS football.

tbimm Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Nice to see this getting some national attention. We already knew this about him here in New Orleans and I feel a bit bad that I didn't post something about this earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfish Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 that was a walk in the park compared ta Tim C's childhood "Oh yeah? Well I grew up wrapped in a newspaper in a septic tank! My da woke us up thirty minutes before we went to bed every day. I worked 25 hours a day in the mill, paid the mill for the right the work, and when I got home, my da would beat me about the head and neck with broken bottles. If I was lucky!"
