Open Thread: Social media magnate Jimmy Darts treats a Spurs fan to the experience of a lifetime
Cash, killer seats, and a chance to meet Jeremy Sochan courtside
If you have not heard of Jimmy Darts, he’s a social media personality known for posting random acts of kindness videos on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
Last week, Darts in partnership with Self Financial, jersey patch partners of the San Antonio Spurs, surprised 13-year-old Will Allen and his dad Tim while they were shooting hoops in Austin.
While shooting around with Will, Jimmy presented the young baller with $1000 and tickets to go to the game that night to meet Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan. After watching the Silver & Black practice courtside, Jeremy signed a jersey for him. Afterwards, they enjoyed the special Austin game, part of the I-35 series, from the Self suite at the Moody Center.
“Tough times do not last, tough people do:” Will is a dedicated athlete who lost the use of his legs in a tragic accident he and his dad were in six years ago. He continues to inspire others with his resilience. Will dreams of playing wheelchair basketball in the Paralympics and becoming an engineer.
