[h1]Paul will honor a boy whose wish to see the Hornets went unfulfilled[/h1][h3]by Katy Reckdahl, The Times-Picayune[/h3]

Before tonight's playoff game, the New Orleans Hornets' superstar point guard Chris Paul will write the name "Brian" on his shoes, payingtribute to an 8-year-old fan who died Monday night before he could meet his basketball hero.
http://
Brian, who had cancer, wore his Chris Paul jersey nonstop, said Michael McMyne, president of A Child's Wish of Greater New Orleans, an all-volunteernonprofit that helps fulfill the wishes of about 100 critically ill Louisiana children each year. McMyne asked that Brian's last name not be used torespect the privacy of the grieving family.
Brian's wish was simple: He wanted to go to a Hornets game.
So McMyne got him tickets to Monday night's playoff game against the San Antonio Spurs.
But at the last minute, a friend of Brian's family called to cancel. The boy had been rushed to the hospital with a high fever, she said. He died hourslater.
In his final weeks, Brian told his family that he knew he was going to heaven and that he wanted to meet Jesus wearing his Chris Paul jersey.
Someone within the Hornets organization sent around an e-mail telling Brian's story. It caught the eye of Paul and Hornets owner George Shinn. Bothcried.
"It was very touching to me. Tears welled up in my eyes," said Shinn, who sent flowers and a letter to the family and offered to help with funeralcosts. The family, overwhelmed with grief, was touched by his kindness but declined. The location and time of the funeral also are private.
Shinn and his wife hoped to attend the funeral with Paul and his parents. But the team will be on road at the time, so that isn't possible, Shinn said.The family plans to bury Brian in his favorite jersey, as he requested.
Footwear tributes aren't new, Shinn said. But usually the name is directly connected to the player. His mother. A family member. A favorite coach."The NBA allows you to do that, to honor that person," Shinn said.
Shinn has never before seen a player write a fan's name on his footwear, "particularly a fan that the player hadn't even met," hesaid.
The tribute is "above and beyond imagination," McMyne said. "This genuinely heartfelt response by Chris Paul made this delicate family feelfortunate as they grieve their angel."

CP is playing out of his mind right now, and its def a beautiful thing to watch.
But the Spurs are too good and have too much exp to NOT defend home court.

Eighty five assists.
And...
... NINE... turnovers.
Sweet.
MERCY.
That's over a 9:1 ratio.
Send him the '08-'09 MVP... RIGHT... NOW. I'm dead serious. He's winning it next year. Quote me on that.
And anyone who uses that argument 'Well he's just doing what he's supposed to do as a point guard': stop it (copyrighted). That's beyondwhat a PG is 'supposed' to do. 85:9?! Insane.
Spurs better win this. Because if you don't, and you end up being down 0-3, you're not coming back on a PG putting up a 9:1 ratio; a 9:1 guy is notgoing to lose 4 straight games.

Good lord.
I hope this is a great game. We're being let down so far after such a promising start to the playoffs with that double OT thriller in game one. Sincethen we haven't really had all that many nailbiters in the West. If the Spurs start to find themselves down, I expect the game to get chippy.
Let's see some drama.

only reason i want the spurs to win is so the pistons can get revenge on the 2005 finals.
