On the walls of C.J. Davis' bedroom are some basketball posters. Of Kevin Durant. Of Dwyane Wade. Of Davis himself, playing for John Marshall High School.
I read about Davis on Saturday, the day after he was killed in a car crash after school. I read more about Davis on Sunday, when his stepfather, Paul Otiento, emailed me. Paul has emailed me often over the years, to talk about the Thunder. Paul is very passionate and knowledgeable about the Thunder; sometimes his passion overrides his knowledge, but that's OK. That happens to all of us.
Paul sent me the email Sunday morning.
