This is one of the more heartwarming things I have read in recent days. I am now a Trail Blazers fan.

I haven't slept in 36 hours and goofed up the title. Can you remove "shows"?

Be a fan of their coach. He has always been classy, and it was a very classy move (it was even better than it appears in print).
But the Blazers, as a team, are not worthy of support. They are a collection of thugs, assembled long before Mo Cheeks took over the team.

Maurice Cheeks is a class act.

Mo Cheeks was a classy player unlike the many thugs/felons in the NBA today.

This is a very heartwarming story and Maurice Cheeks is a great guy, but William McKinley is right about the players.
To: flying Elvis
This is a great story. With this one simple act Maurice Cheeks showed what kind of man he is.
Go Trailblazers!
To: flying Elvis
Mo Cheeks, along with fellow 76er Dr. J, were two of the classiest guys to ever play the game.

I am now a Trail Blazers fan.A perfect example of drawing the wrong conclusion based on one data point. This was indeed a great moment, and Maurice Cheeks is as far as I understand, a good guy. But the Trail Blazers have a reputation of being a bunch of thugs and malcontents. You could do better in your choice of teams to root for.

This is too cool. I'll pass this along to all my singing friends. Many of us have sung the National Anthems at major league sports events.

I saw the replay this weekend. It was very sweet...the poor girl was on the verge of tears when Mo came over. She finished with a big grin. =D
But I'm still rooting for the Mavs. :)

I'm still not a 'Jail' Blazers fan, but I do think Maurice Cheeks is a class act.

Saw this on ESPN last night. The girl was near tears. This big guy comes over and all of a sudden it's Sing Along with Mitch. She recovered and sang the rest of it with him. Very nice of him to help her out. Most people wouldn't have.
