Dallas native Julius Randle thought his visit to the Bronx this morning was only to celebrate the groundbreaking of a permanent site for the @EMNRSchoolNYC.
Instead, he was presented with the honor of bearing his name on the school’s new basketball court.dallasnews.com/sports/maveric… – 1:45 PM

Through his “30 for 3” program, NYK’s Julius Randle has raised $1.3M for Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School in Bronx. He’s funded addition of 8 full time literary teachers. Reading levels of more than 200 students have increased by several grade levels at the school. pic.x.com/cfvftyiipn – 10:27 AM
