Z's a father... Congrats to him

[narbar32]

It never ceases to amaze me that in the world of professional sports today, a guy like Z can exist. What an amazing story he is.

A big, big congrats to Z and his wife!

... from a long time Cavs fan who had similar losses, then later adopted two from a different ex-Soviet state. I'm thrilled!

Good for them!

Congrats Z!

I just remember reading how tough his situation was two years ago, and what he went through during the 06-07 season. Couldn't be happier for Z who's truly a class act for the Cavs and the league.

Very good news. Z and his wife making the best of their situation, wish all the best for them.

To put it simply....

Z is THE MAN!

Awesome, awesome stuff. Warms my heart.

Major props to big Z...always a class act who we are lucky to have here in Cleveland.

Board mods- where is the link for me to add to Z's reputation? I think he deserves at least 1000 rep points for this.

He and his wife are honest to goodness kick-ass people. I wish the new family all the best! And here's to seeing the boys in the NBA in roughly 18 years or so.

No way.. Congrats to Z.. He finally did something worth a damn..

Hopefully the young man will take up another sport like Badminton...

Congrats nonetheless...

All I want to say is congrats to big Z and his wife!

This is great for Z and his wife but it will be just as great if not better for the little boys. Could you imagine being how they will feel from being in an orphanage not knowing who your parents are (maybe they do) and now to feeling the love of one of the NBA's classiest players. (Greg Ostertag doesnt think so)

It would be overwhelming!

Congrats Z but if you're also looking to adopt a younger brother, I'll send you my personal info and medical history.

I was kinda hoping Z could adopt Luke Jackson as well. I hear that kid couldn't get a gig on any NBDL summer league team and was really down in the dumps.
