In 2007, Mo Cheeks, who was the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, helped a young girl through what could have been the most embarrassing day of her life.
Natalie Gilbert was given the honor of singing the national anthem for an NBA game. But in forgetting the words, much to her embarrassment, she unintentionally elicited help from one of the coaches -- Mo Cheeks – and, eventually, much of the crowd, which joined in a rousing rendition of the anthem.
I was really touched by this video. This is a truly spontaneous act of kindness. May we bow to the Buddha within this man.
