Thanks to some help from Adidas executive and fellow Reading, Penn. native Eric Wise, Spurs rookie Lonnie Walker IV was able to assist in donating 300 pairs of sneakers worth more than $30,000 to children in Reading's Blacktop Basketball League, according to Mike Drago of the Reading Eagle.
Walker signed with Adidas prior to San Antonio taking him with the No. 18 pick in the draft in June. Wise, who like Walker attended Reading High School, helped push Adidas toward the young guard after seeing him in high school with the Red Knights and in college at Miami.
