3、 Kidsin a Sudanese refugee(難民)camp stir up a cloud of dust as they kick around a football.NBA superstar Tracy McGrady watches from a distance before offering to buy the kids a grass pitch for$1.000.
Perhaps he sees a Ronaldinho rising up out of the African soil.Or maybe he just wants to do something―anything―to give these children some hope.But he is told,politely, that grass is not what the kids need.
This scene appears in 3 Point,a new documentary, which shows the Houston Rockets star coming face―to-face with the reality that life is more than sport.
McGrady,29,writes on his website that he gaveled to Africa because he was tired of only reading about it in news.“Who were the faces behind the statistics?” He said.“I needed to see it for myself.
And he did.He stepped out of his large house and flew to a place torn to bits by war and famine.He slept in a tent.He kept away from minefields.He talked with people who have been suffering.And he swallowed his pride.
But no one should blame McGrady for wanting to buy the kids a pitch of grass.Spon gave him a chance,so perhaps he thought it would do the same for the refugees.
McGrady was eyed by NBA managers as a teenager and he didn’t bother going to college. Instead,he leaped right into the NBA.Since that move,basketball has given him a handsome living,but one very far removed from the lives of ordinary people
As McGrady
would learn in Africa,most
people see sports as just a break from life’s
difficulties.They don’t mistake it for
1ife itself.
Only McGrady knows how this Africa trip changed him,but I’d bet that, at the very least,it has given him a new sense for what is truly meaningful.
McGrady doesn’t own an NBA championship ring.He hasn’t risen to the heights of Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. But,perhaps,now he knows he doesn’t have to in order to truly make a difference in the world

And after a momentary pause it would make me necessary detour(繞道). 37 one point,the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide Aner some 38 thoughts,the ant laid the feather over the crack,walked 39 it and picked the feather up on the other side,then continued on its way.I was 40 by the cleverness of this ant.It was only a small insect,lacking in 41 yet equipped with a brain to reason,explore,discover and overcome. 42 this ant,like the other two-legged creatures 43_on the earth,also shares human failings。
After some time the ant 44 reached its destination―a flower bed and a small hole that was me entrance to its 45 home.It was there that the ant met its 46 . How could that 1arge feather possibly 47 such a small hole? Of course,it couldn’t .So me ant,after all this 48 and using great brightness,overcoming problems all a1l along the way ,just gave up the 49 and went home.The ant had not thought the problem through 50 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 51 more than a burden.Isn’t our 52 like that?
