Bryant McKinnie, Cool Guy

We here at DN have been pretty harsh on Bryant McKinnie at times. From his late night antics, his lackluster play from a guy that has the ability to dominate, and his seeming indifference to it all, I would venture to guess it's not unwarranted.

But if we bash when deserved, we must also praise when warranted, and here it's warranted: McKinnie is participating in an African relief mission to help those who are most in need.

Take time to read the story, as it's a good read.

Bryant McKinnie is a pretty cool guy

eh, saves people in Africa, and doesn’t afraid of anything.

How cool is Mckinnie ?

Giving to charity is a very admirable thing to do, but the article doesn’t say how much money Mckinnie gave. Without knowing that, I can’t really tell how cool Mckinnie really is. :)

He's not donating

He’s jumping on a plane and heading over there to help out in person.
Which I, personally, think is much more admirable than simply writing a check

I understand what you're saying,

but Mckinnie isn’t a Doctor, a Teacher or a Contractor, so he really doesn’t bring much to the table other than money.
There’s a lot of people and different organizations that want to help the people of Africa, but there’s not enough money, and that’s where Mckinnie could help the most…IMO.

A friend of mine

did something like this. (After her freshman year in college)
She went down and taught a bunch of kids some english, and brought them things like blankets and stuff. So it’s not like you have to be qualified or anything.

Like I said, I get what you mean.. Mckinnie actually helping is admirable, but Mckinnie is a very wealthy man. Much wealthier than M.Williams who personally gave $2mil to the people of Sierra Leone.
Not that Mckinnie has to give $2mil, but I would be much more impressed if he did something like that.

I'd like to see

McKinnie donate as much as he spends in clubs.

Ah, the failed attempt at returning Moss home. It was like '98 and '09 were about to make sweet, sweet love and give us a glorious '10 child.
