Emeka give $250,000 to UConn

[CL82]

Not to the practice facility but to Husky Sport which benefits the north end of Hartford. Link

Justin Evanovich is the Husky Sport assistant director. He's a good friend of Mek's. I remember that he used to rebound for him while Emeka did his extra work in the gym. By the way Justin has his Ph.D.

He gave $250,000 in 2007. He's giving another $100,000 now.

Thanks. I'd edit the title to correct and fix the grammar but...

Yes, Justin and Emeka are very good friends. The first couple years whenever Emeka came to Boston to play the Celtics Justin was there with tickets Emeka left for him. Sat with Justin for a while one game and we talked about the National Championship season.

Melo said he was going to donate 3 million to cuse but ended up donating about 1 million, maybe less.

On a related matter - have any of the NBA UConn Alumni donated any $$$ to the UConn Basketball Development Center yet? Don't remember anything.
