Leon Robinson - outstanding article

If you are a GT fan, read this article. In fact, even if you hate GT, read the article. Here's a kid whose entire family support system was mired in darkness (except his grandmother who raised him), and he has continued to strive for a better life. Wow, when I reported a few weeks back that Leon would probably be able to play this year and that his wrist seemed better, little did we know the extent, the truth of his struggle. Kudos to Brian Murphy at the Macon Telegraph for telling his story. Leon is 12 hours away from getting his degree. He has a legit shot at getting back in the starting line-up. Now that's what I call a "student-athlete".

It also goes to show you that no matter how bad you think you have it, someone always has it worse.
