CELEBRITY DO GOODER

I'm gonna end on a high note...Have a good weekend.....:) :)

Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson will pay for the funeral of a man who died three years after he was shot for refusing to hand over his Iverson basketball jersey to a group of teens.
Kevin Johnson died Tuesday morning after his family chose to remove his life support. He was 22. "I don't think one guy can do what needs to be done, but I think one guy can help," Iverson said before Wednesday night's game in Seattle. The teen robbers stepped to Johnson on June 24, 2003 as he waited for a trolley. When he refused their demands to give up the jersey, Johnson was shot in the back of the neck by Robert Ferguson, who is now serving a prison sentence for attempted murder. Eventually, Johnson ended up on a ventilator. Last week, the ventilator failed, and Johnson suffered irreparable brain damage. The family chose to take him off it. "It was time for Kevin to go home," Johnson's mother told the Philadelphia Daily News. Johnson's funeral is set for next Wednesday, with the expenses covered by Iverson. He will be buried in Iverson’s No. 3 Sixers jersey. The family asked Iverson to attend the service, but the Sixers play that night in Milwaukee. Iverson said he talked to the family about not wanting to disrespect them, or for them to believe his offer was simply for publicity.
"I felt like I have got to do something more than what I have been doing to help this situation as much as I can," Iverson said, according to AP. "If I can reach one person and take one death away, I think I can do something."
