Pierre Jackson, Good Samaritan

Baylor point guard Pierre Jackson doesn't owe anyone anything. That would be true even if he were professionally compensated for his basketball abilities, but he isn't, at least not yet. Jackson is still a college athlete, and for many college athletes, finding cash for one's own personal expenses is hard enough. You can't be going around giving random strangers gifts. Unless, maybe, that stranger needs a pair of shoes. Thanks to shoe companies' enthusiastic (ahem) sponsorship deals with athletic programs, shoes are the one thing to which a collegiate basketball player has essentially unlimited access.
