Long wait worth it for Portis

ROGERS -- Bobby Portis got his mom a pretty nice Mother's Day present last month.

A lot nicer than flowers and a card or candy or lunch at a fancy restaurant.

Portis got his mother, Tina Edwards, a house in Maumelle as a surprise.

It was a moment in the making for years said Portis, a former Little Rock Hall and University of Arkansas, Fayetteville basketball player who recently completed his third NBA season with the Chicago Bulls.

"It's been a dream of mine forever," Portis said Monday at Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson's charity golf tournament.
