Because he visits the children’s hospital huh?

So if Obama visited a children’s hospital you would suddenly become a fan?

No, because obama would do it for a political angle. Russell called the children's hospital when he was first picked up by the team and asked if he could come and visit the kids. The public affairs person had seen this routine before. A pro athlete that shows up, takes some pictures, leaves and never comes back.

. Russell didn't want that. He didn't want any photos unless it was taken by a kid or family member. Then he came back the next week, and the week after that, etc. He is giving comfort and diversion to those kids and doesn't want any publicity for it. That is admirable.
