As told in a video posted with a request to Chris Paul, Jack’s mom bought him a pair of CP3 sneakers for his seventh grade season. Jack says he will now write his mom’s initials, “L.E.G,” on his sneakers for each game.
All he asked of Chris Paul in the video was for the NBA star to do the same: write “L.E.G” on his shoes and play a game for Lisa Elaine Gallagher.
Here is the video that young Jack posted.
In a touching sequence of events, Chris Paul saw the video and was motivated to do something for Jack and his family, something more than writing something on his sneakers. He paid for the family to attend the game, spent time with them before the game, and gave Jack some shoes and gear.

Good on Chris Paul for doing this for Jack Gallagher.
