NBA dream come true: I bought my mom a house for her birthday

Nets rookie Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will be providing a recurring diary to The Post as he begins his NBA career. This week he discusses buying his mother, Rylanda Hollis, a house and surprising her with it Friday night for her birthday. As told to Tim Bontemps.

We were searching for the house for a while. My brother, the realtor, my uncle and a couple others were looking at houses and telling me about it, and I thought this one was the perfect fit.

When I told the woman who owned the house why we were buying it, she cried.
