I am thankful on this Thanksgiving season for good men who choose to use their celebrity to bring a bit of sunshine to those under some dark skies.

Yes, I cried.

Steph Curry is a class act- always has been as far as i know- I’m surprised the left haven’t pulled a tim tebow style attack on him and gotten him booted from the nba- because they don’t like what they see when they look in the mirror of his soul

Why does it have to be public? Is he getting more out of it than the patient?

It benefits the hospital having it made public.

Get booted from the NBA? Come on. He brings in too much money for the league.

I saw that, but why would they run him out of the NBA? That statement makes no sense.

They didn’t run him out, he just couldn’t do the job in the NFL. His arm alone was not an NFL caliber arm. You had no idea where the ball was going. Big difference between a two time MVP and someone who has heart but is lacking the talent to perform on the big stage.

And I applaud his try at baseball, but it looks like nothing may come of that either.

Phil Rivers is a devout Christian, and is proud of it. He’s one of the all time great and he stuck around because he can play. Kurt Warner is another very devout Christian and expressed his values freely. There are many. Tebow just didn’t have the skill set.

“Tim Tebow received a lot of media attention in 2011, leading to persecution for his openness about his faith. Now ESPN’s president has accepted some of the blame.

“We gave him a lot of attention. I’ve said before, we probably overdid it,” ESPN President John Skipper admitted in an article published Tuesday in The Hollywood Reporter. “And that makes people sort of suspicious of him. It’s not his fault. He is genuinely a very likable guy.”

Tebow is a likable guy, but can’t play football in the NFL as a QB.
