it’s the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 19, and Isaiah Whitehead is holdings a "Coney Island Thanksgiving Share and Turkey Drive" at MCU Park. As Isaiah handed out turkeys, thanksgiving dinners and drinks to families in need, the crowd was entertained by a DJ and games for kids.
"He's a role model for different reasons," said one Coney Island native who received a turkey dinner. "He's a role model and an inspiration because we've had other players from Brooklyn, from Coney Island, make the NBA, but none have gone as far as Isaiah has with the community."
Whitehead has already held plenty of events for the community.
