This is a great story. This kid was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma shortly after his senior season last winter.
Imhotep hoops star takes on yet another challenge
Will Adams said he felt funny and a bit uncomfortable, as if the eyes of the city were on him.
The 19-year-old Imhotep Charter graduate was only shooting some hoops last night with Marreese Speights of the 76ers, in front of a few friends and family - and three television news cameras.
Speights read a Jan. 17 Inquirer column by Buzz Bissinger challenging any member of the Sixers to spend some time on the court with Adams. Inspired by Adams' story, Speights asked to be the one.
Adams, who is headed to Towson University on a scholarship, was more than happy to make time for Speights.
He even postponed his chemotherapy.

Andy-
Agree completely. Right is right, and there are much more important things in life than college basketball.
