Normally, stuff that hits the That NBA Lottery Pick inbox are either of the junk variety or the random wacky happening in the NBA.
However, this story might warm the cackles of your heart. A couple days ago, a video showing a homeless man by the name of Ted Williams featuring his golden voice had gone viral.
Now, floods of job offers have come in, one of them being the Cleveland Cavaliers. We get more from NewsNet 5 in Cleveland:
A day after a homeless man from Columbus became an Internet sensation, the Cleveland Cavaliers have offered the man a job and a house, the team confirmed to NewsChannel5.To think, all this might not have happened without the glory of YouTube, pray to YouTube gods you heathens.
Ted Williams has become a national phenomenon overnight, and during an interview on Columbus radio station 97.9 Wednesday morning, a spokeswoman from the Cavs called in and made him the offer.
The team offered Williams full-time voiceover work with the Cavs and Quicken Loans, and also offered to pay a mortgage on a home.
“We’d like to offer you full time work with the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as Quicken Loans Arena,” spokeswoman Tracy Marek said. “On top of it, because we know you’re a person trying to get up and on your feet, Quicken Loans is actually offering to pay a mortgage on a home.”
