Once Luka Donu010diu0107, Daniel Gafford and Naji Marshall walked onto the court at Mercy Street in West Dallas on Friday afternoon, it was a surreal moment for the 120 kids and their parents who were on hand for this festive occasion.
“You should have seen their faces when they walked in,” said Brian Roy, the director of sports operations at Mercy Street. “It was a surprise to have everybody here, and to get a chance to meet what is probably one of the top five, top three basketball players in the whole world – top one basketball player in the whole world – to show them what’s possible in the city of Dallas, I think it’s a huge inspiration.
