If my son ever becomes as great as the greatest athlete who ever lived, I may opt for a simple suit. Sure, you’ll take the house and the gifts, but a lot of old school parents would rather let their children have their own moments in the sun. But as a man and a father, who wants to be dependent on his children? Pete Nelson could’ve stopped working, and Jameer probably urged him to. Michael did pay for an apartment and gave his father a couple hundred dollars a month. Michael Vick’s estranged father recently came forth to claim that his son was involved in dogfighting long before the NFL-after Michael wouldn’t pay him a lump sum of a million dollars. I’m glad Pete Nelson had the opportunity to share in his son’s rewards, which were in turn his rewards as a parent. More importantly, the same nine-to-five that showed Jameer the value of hard work, and the rewards it can bring. What really touched me was the fact that despite winning the proverbial “Lottery," Nelson chose to still work the same nine-to-five job he'd had for years The same nine-to-five that put food on the table, and got Jameer his first Jordans. Pete Nelson drowned after falling off the docks while working on a tugboat in Chester last week. Instead, Jameer will be saying a last goodbye to his father within the week. He'd probably tell you it was the best gift Jameer could have given him, if you could ask him today. Not an 80,000-dollar car, not a million-dollar home.a suit. Pete was seen on the local news in the hours leading up to the NBA draft carrying a suit that Jameer bought for him. Imagine how his father Pete must have felt. Needless to say, he did Philadelphia and his hometown of Chester, PA, proud. 1 for most of the year, and advanced to the Elite Eight in the NCAAs. Joe’s Hawks went undefeated in the regular season, were ranked No. In the 2003-2004 NCAA season, Nelson's St. Eddie Griffin (born July 15, 1968) is an American actor and comedian, known for his sitcom, Malcolm & Eddie, along with co-star, Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Jameer Nelson is the most decorated player in the history of college basketball. In any event, Griffin's death leaves his three-year-old daughter Amaree without a father. Suicide has not been ruled out, but I don't suspect it. Sadly, that life ended on a road in Houston-as he was trying to cross the tracks. At the time of his death, Griffin was working with John Lucas, himself a recovering addict, and trying to get his career and life back on the right path. In the NBA, Griffin struggled with alcoholism and had several run-ins with the law-from drunk driving to domestic disputes. Powell was a father figure to Griffin, and seemed to be a stabilizing force in his life. Those close to him point to the death of his half-brother Marvin Powell in 2001 as a turning point.
