Sixers center Andre Drummond.

Still feels weird to say that.

He shared a video today of him jumping into a pool to rescue his son after the little guy fell in:

I read the comments on this tweet, which I now immediately regret. People are mostly criticizing him and the other people in this video for letting a kid sit on the side of the pool in the first place. No “swimmies” or inflatable gear. Can’t say I blame the critics, but whatever; it’s a good save, regardless. Drummond shows good instincts to rotate over and help. He recognizes the danger and sees it coming. This is what you want from a rim protector.
