So much unwarranted cynicism in this thread. The guy got a fresh start. Hopefully he makes the best of it.

Great story.

Very VERY nice job by the Cavs to not only give him a job but a roof over his head as well.

In this day and age, it's the basics of survival that matter the most.

This is crazy. Twice in the past week I drove from Cleveland to Columbus and took his exit and saw him on the side of the road. Nuts!!!!!
