Some athletes work in the city.
Some live in the city.
Some are part of the city.
New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul falls into the latter category, the latest example being Saturday afternoon, when he dedicated a refurbished basketball court at A.L. Davis Playground in New Orleans, the third refurbished court he has dedicated in the city.
I don't think it possibly can be overstated what athletes like Paul, a three-time NBA All-Star - and New Orleans Saints quarterback andSuper Bowl XLIV MVP Drew Brees- actually mean to New Orleans. Not when they're willing to put to action their words and commitments, when they're willing to give back on a scale that might not match the level of adulation they receive, but certainly is above and beyond anything they have to do.
