Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith got to return home to North Carolina to help make a dream come true for a sick local kid, and it’s a story that gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling.
The kids dream? To play football with Russell Wilson at the Seahawk’s home stadium. So, yeah, no Ish Smith mentioned, but the kid and Smith have a local connection and he loves playing basketball.
The child, Jack Smith, suffers from diabetes as well as a hypersensitivity to insulin. This means his body treats the thing that keeps him alive as a sickness or a cancer and it makes him extremely sick.
