One conversation can make a difference.
For Dillon Hunter, that's precisely what happened.
The summer for Clemson basketball is synonymous with the grueling heat and "strongman" competitions, moving big tires, heavy weights, and whatever else can fit in the parking outside the stadium.
On one fateful Sunday, Hunter instead decided to lift someone's spirits.
Clemson's basketball team took part in Redd Martin's Sunday Dinner with a Twist, a non-profit organization led by Martin that helps feed and serve the homeless in Greenville.
Hunter is plenty familiar with this organization. He has developed a strong relationship with Martin through his time at Clemson, growing to admire the spirit of generosity that envelops Martin's persona.
