PICTURES
As promised- I posted some pics from our charity gala back at the end of March. The event is called the “Black Tie and Tennies Charity Gala” and its always a lot of fun. All the proceeds benefit the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation- a program that assists kids in the Central Florida area. I decided this year to not wear a tux- instead I went with a black custom suit and skinny black tie. I would have rather worn a tux but believe it or not- I don’t own a tux and rentals just don’t fit exact. I put some all white Vans on my feet and I was ready to go. Some highlights from the night included watching Dwight Howard belt out Soulja Boy on karaoke, playing blackjack with guests, and getting to hang out with my girlfriend. One other thing, for the 2nd straight year I was named one of three finalists for the Rich and Helen DeVos Community Enrichment Award. I didn’t win it but just being recognized was an honor. Honestly, everyone on our team does so much in the community. I’m proud to be part of this team. Aight, enjoy the pics!

JJ, I enjoyed watching you play at Duke. I would love to see you in a Cavs uniform. Please consider Cleveland as an option to play some time in your career. Thanks.

Y’all are just beautiful. great pix, JJ, thanks.
from what i’ve read it seems you have a pretty genuine fan base here, like everyone who has posted a comment truly cares about you above and beyond how many threes you can shoot. I’m staring at a computer screen feeling like i’m surrounded by caring people. whoa! i love you all!
btw, the book The Great House of God by Max Lucado is nothing short of amazing…

I have been a huge fan of yours since your freshman year at Duke. I hope next year, or even yet in this years playoffs you will get to play a lot more. You have shown that you can score with the best of them. In the NBA, thats what it is about. Good luck the rest of the way.
Hope to hear from ya.
Matt
