"Kendric Price honors friend with program" May 05, 2012|By Bob Hohler
It’s a Saturday morning, when many 25-year-olds are sleeping off the
night before and a lot of city kids are home playing ‘‘Call of Duty:
Modern Warfare 3,’’ because real bullets don’t fly in video games....
Thanks to Kendric Price, a 25-year-old basketball phenom from a rough patch of Dorchester [and] a budding financial analyst, they are exploring a
different kind of volatility—the type that roils the stock market,
creating opportunities for savvy investors to profit. The boys, from
Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Cambridge, have joined Price at
Buckingham Browne & Nichols School in Cambridge, where he is walking
them through the Xs and Os of Capitalism 101.
The 6-foot-9-inch
Price, whose basketball skills landed him a scholarship at the
University of Michigan, an invitation to the NBA Developmental League,
and a tour with the Harlem Wizards, is developing a program to help
young kids....
This is a pilot program, Price’s first attempt to build a volunteer
organization aimed at using basketball to empower children by pulling
back the curtain on some of the mysteries of making money....
Yeah, buying off politicians to shovel tax loot your way and rigging the stock markets playing both ends against the middle while ripping off pension funds is a big mystery.
