Betty James has a right to be proud of her son Tim:
He made almost $2.5 million playing for the Heat, Hornets and 76ers... And James earned plenty playing professionally in Japan, Turkey and Israel, too. But as he traveled all over the globe playing his beloved game, seeing a world he never thought he'd see growing up poor in Miami, he didn't learn to merely value or appreciate America's freedoms....
"He decided he wanted to fight to protect them, too," the story continues.
