http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-30-60/New-Orleans-East.html 還記得整個溜馬農場養成史中，最備受期待的Jonathan Bender嗎? 雖然他的短暫NBA生涯畫下等號，但他對於颶風災區的奉獻更人感動。不論是災區耶誕節禮物、幫助當地學校的圖書館修繕工作、免費籃球訓練營等，都是他退休之後致力於的義舉。甚至於他還聘請影片公司拍攝名為："Brand New Orleans"的紀錄片。 Jonathan Bender, from nearby Picayune, is doing well even after his NBA career was cut short. He is making a full-time job out of Hurricane Katrina recovery in this area. Christmas present programs, helping a school refurbish their moldy library, reading stories to kids, running free basketball camps ... he's putting his time and his treasure to work for this region. Bender has been buying damaged properties, hiring contractors to fix them up, and then renting them out. It's amazing how uplifting it is to see houses getting fixed up on blocks where everything is abandoned. He invited us on a trip to see some of his nearby projects, but time was tight. We might get to see it anyway, however -- Bender recently hired a production company to make a pilot of a reality show about such things called Brand New Orleans. JB，I miss you!!! 印象中的他真的是乖乖牌的好孩子，受教但聽從教練的安排，無奈病痛史讓他原本該大放異彩的生涯結束。 -- 只需要認識我的文字 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/indypacers -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.162.223.140
