Inside Stuff: Puerto Rico’s Son, J.J. Barea
Kristen Ledlow sits down with Puerto Rico native J.J. Barea to talk about how he and the Dallas Mavericks are helping hurricane relief efforts in his homeland.
J.J. Barea has been chosen as a finalist for the 2017-18 J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, the Professional Basketball Writers Association announced today. The honor, named after the NBA’s second commissioner, is presented annually by the PBWA to a player, coach or athletic trainer who demonstrates outstanding service and dedication to the community.
Each team nominates someone for the award, and a panel of 25 PBWA members selects five finalists.
