Chris Paul to honor a young fan who passed away...

Truly sad story.

Before tonight's playoff game, the New Orleans Hornets' superstar point guard Chris Paul will write the name "Brian" on his shoes, paying tribute to an 8-year-old fan who died Monday night before he could meet his basketball hero.


Brian, who had cancer, wore his Chris Paul jersey nonstop, said Michael McMyne, president of A Child's Wish of Greater New Orleans, an all-volunteer nonprofit that helps fulfill the wishes of about 100 critically ill Louisiana children each year. McMyne asked that Brian's last name not be used to respect the privacy of the grieving family.

Brian's wish was simple: He wanted to go to a Hornets game.

So McMyne got him tickets to Monday night's playoff game against the San Antonio Spurs.

But at the last minute, a friend of Brian's family called to cancel. The boy had been rushed to the hospital with a high fever, she said. He died hours later.

CP3 is a wonderful man.

Re: Chris Paul to honor a young fan who passed away...

That's a very sad story; you hate to read about things like that. But I think it's great what Chris Paul is doing. It really sucks stories like this are never really mentioned, but rather, a lot of negative things get mentioned instead. That's a great gesture by CP3.
