A friend and I were recently talking, and she said she had a basketball signed by some retired 76er's players, including Maurice "Mo" Cheeks. Cheeks was a successful player and coach in the NBA for years, but for me his career was defined by the moment captured in this video. In a split second he made a decision to do something he'd never done before, something nobody had ever done before. In doing so he acted with love, empathy, and compassion for a stranger, helping her out in arguably the most difficult moment of her life.

I have to say that that must have been so embarrassing to forget the words to that song. I also have to say that that was one of the nicest things I've ever seen.

I think that the good deed he did was very kind. What made the whole thing worse for her was that it was in front of a huge crowd.

PS. What year did that take place in?
More PS. Was that a Mavericks player I saw, because they are my favorite team.
That girl was in a difficult position but the crowd was booing her at first, but the guy was very willing to help herout.
