Before his death, Chip Hooper helped his son Max fulfill his sports dreams as a guard at Oakland

Posted Mar 31, 2016
You hear that sports are silly and shallow and even pointless, and maybe once in a while you even think that yourself. And then you hear the story of Max and Chip Hooper. In late February, Chip flew from California to Michigan to watch the last regular-season game of his son Max's senior year at Oakland University. Chip had planned to see a whole bunch of Max's games this season, even as he battled cancer, but then, right before the season started, he had a stroke. (Campus Rush)
