In a Tuesday edition of the Brooklyn Nets Morning Dish that follows a disheartening blowout loss at the Garden, we were looking for some good news and thanks to Joe Harris, we didn’t have to look far.
Harris, the Nets small forward, has joined forces with former University of Virginia teammates Malcolm Brogdon and Justin Anderson as well as two other NBA players to form a group called Hoops2o, an initiative to raise money to help efforts to bring clean water to East Africa.
According to UVAToday, Brogdon announced the launch of the project Monday — patterned after the “Waterboys” drive started by former Virginia football star Chris Long — to build wells in the impoverished region.
