Zach Randolph, Good Guy








I feel like Zach Randolph gets a lot of flack for no reason. People are always saying he's got attitude problems and he's fat and lazy, and blah blah blah. But the truth is that ever since his days in Portland he's been a guy you can count on to get 18 pts and 10 rebounds a game. Sure he shoots a lower percentage than most bigs but he's got the ability to spread the floor more and shoot from further away so his shots aren't always high-percentage layups like some other guys, all the while opening up the paint for other guys to make a play. At the same time he's smart with the ball and always ready to play, and whether you see it or not he wants to win every single game he plays. I just thought this was something cool for him to do, giving away his warm-up to this little G in the the yellow headband with a big smile on his face. Classy move by a guy who really doesn't get enough credit. Just because all of the generous shit he does doesn't make national news it doesn't mean that it's not worth bringing some attention to. Couldn't be happier to make this little kid's day. Sure it's probably drenched in sweat and smells like a locker room, but come on it's the thought that counts.
