Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 1980666, member: 1646"] I didn't intend to post the first part about the guardian. I thought better of it based on too much conjecture about a kid and family I don't know. But it was sitting in cache and I had to post the Austin Powers line about Carnies! I didn't notice the other stuff was still there! Since I posted the first part and let the end sentence trail off, I should probably finish the thought. It looks a lot like the guardian wasn't ready to fully help a kid with Zach's past and issues. At best, he wanted to look like the good guy that took a troubled kid to the NBA like a Jewish basketball version of Michael Oher. At worst, he was looking for future profits in some way. Either way, Zach's probably in a better position than he was with his family, but it's only temporary. Don't just give him the fish... teach him how to fish. All these things are easy for me to say as an outsider. [/QUOTE]
