Here's a feel-good story involving Earl Watson. He spent part of the 2005-06 season in Denver. He met a young cancer patient during a school appearance. They bonded, and Earl stayed in touch with the girl and the family after he got traded to Seattle. The girl passed away nearly six years ago.

He trades e-mails with Wyatt (the girl's brother) and visits with the family before and after each trip to Denver.

Yeah I posted it yesterday. But I didn't put it in its own thread. So I'm not sure anyone even saw it

It is nice to see athletes doing charitable things and making peoples lives better because they want too and enjoy it. A lot of them just do it out of obligation, tax breaks or join in a cause because one of their own family has the disease.

I will say the "feel good" term is kind of relative in this case since the girl has passed away. But I guess "feel good" refers to him doing something good for a family that needs support.
