The Rest of the Story ….
Oklahoma City Thunder's Russell Westbrook laces up a new pair of shoes for Lajaya Coleman, second grade student at Thelma R. Parks Elementary School.
Have no doubt, the guys on the Thunder have proven to be a great fit for the city – you get the impression that when they’re out and about fulfilling the NBA’s mission of giving back to the community, they’re not just doing the job, they’re really into it. And kudos for that.
But the photo on the front page of today’s paper didn’t mention the unknowns who made this event possible… SandRidge Energy employees who raised money to buy shoes and provide holiday cheer for these kids, and Baptist’s Athletic Supply in Shawnee, which sold the shoes at a “significant discount.”
Merry Christmas everyone.
