Thunder rookie Darius Bazley hoisted a small child, whose face was painted like Spiderman’s, over his head. The boy had attempted a daring underhand midrange shot on the 10-foot hoop. After he missed, Bazley helped him get closer to the rim.
With a grin on his face, the young child tossed a layup off the rim and air-balled the putback. By then, other children in blue 'Positive Tomorrows' t-shirts had gathered around Bazley, rebounding for their classmate. Bazley either didn’t realize or didn’t mind that the Thunder Cares event was in the final stages of wrapping up.
The Thunder celebrated Thanksgiving early at Positive Tomorrows’ new school building Thursday.
