Donte does it all...

Besides his versatile game on the court... he is also a life-saver as reported by the AP today:

(12-10) 09:40 PST Sacramento, Calif. (AP) --

Sacramento Kings forward Donte Greene says it felt "like it took forever" for a boat to reach him after he dove into a dark and chilly river to help a woman who had fallen from a boat. Greene and friends were boating on the American River near Discovery Park at about 7 p.m. Monday when the unidentified female passenger attempted to pull up a ladder. The pilot put the boat in gear and she fell off the back as the boat lunged forward.

Greene says he heard yelling and "a big splash." When he saw the woman flailing in the current, he dove in after her. The basketball star says he had to dodge other boats to get to the woman as their boat circled around to pick them up. The woman did not need medical attention.

Greene, who played for Syracuse University, was the 28th overall pick in the 2008 draft.

And yes, I know this should have been a fanshot, but it was easier to cut and paste. My apologies... but what the hell was he doing on the river after dark and in the cold anyway?

Maybe the exact same thing happened in the exact same way, and Donte saved ANOTHER person?

Donte doesn’t sleep. He just becomes Doratio and saves drowning women every day.

WWDKD?

The more important question is this

Why the hell would a woman be swimming in the American in December?

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

If she had been swimming, there wouldn't have been much of a problem. I don't think what she was doing could be considered

swimming.
Just accept that Donte saves.

Say it. Say Donte saves!

Didn't this happen in the summer?

Especially when Monday @ 7 the Kings were traveling to New Orleans?

LOL Aykis

Facts don’t ever get in the way of a good story. Haven’t Republicans taught you this?
