Like everyone else, I've heard the JB adoption story, but actually seeing his mom helps to clarify things a bit.
You can say whatever you want to about how she looks, but the thing that struck me is that she looks very young - meaning that she's probably a long ways from retirement.
And I have to believe that it has a big effect on a player coming into a lot of money that his mom is going to have to work for maybe another 20 years before she can retire.
And with a large adopted family, it gives JB a lot of motivation to be a success in his career. It explains a lot about his character, and why the Bulls FO was so happy to get him.
