ORLANDO – It’s one of those calls that some police officers would just shake their head at when they get the report from dispatch. Instead officer Bobby White did much more.
And on Sunday, the Magic joined in on the worldwide celebration of his actions by honoring him and the #HoopsNotCrime crew during Orlando's game against Atlanta.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the backstory, White, a Gainesville Police officer, recently made headlines when a video was recorded of him responding to a noise complaint in an inner-city neighborhood. What he discovered was a group of young men playing basketball in the street and decided that rather than scolding the boys, he would play some pick-up ball with them.
