He’s the absolute best

He does stuff like this for kids every year, he just doesn’t do it for cameras. Every year he goes to numerous hospitals visiting kids, donating to cancer foundations, etc., but somehow people act like he’s a bad guy & selfish.

Imagine disliking a guy for having a good time playing in his home country and then donating his earnings to charity. Oh that’s right he doesn’t play the game the way the same way you did on the JV team back in 87.
