DETROIT – It’s about 8 miles from Detroit Pershing High to Little Caesars Arena but a journey one in a million can navigate.
Kay Felder got there Monday.
“I think the greatest dream that a basketball player has is to play in the NBA,” Felder’s college coach, Greg Kampe, said by phone Monday from Chicago, where he led Oakland University to a 78-68 win over Illinois-Chicago a few hours later. “The only thing better than that is to play for your hometown NBA team. It’s just awesome for him and his family and for Oakland and the people around here who can go see him.
