Cody Miller-McIntyre has a big heart. The American basketball player brightened the day of a young boy from Umka who was selling lemonade at his stand.

A young boy was selling lemonade for 50 dinars in the Umka neighborhood when, by chance, Cody Miller-McIntyre passed by. Young Relja immediately recognized the basketball star, and the new Olympiacos player gave the boy 3,000 dinars.

Then, a car pulled up to the stand. A young man in a white T-shirt and a backward black cap addressed him from the vehicle. Relja was momentarily speechless. The man looked just like the basketball players he had only seen on television until then.

It was the last batch, and Relja quickly ran into the house to make a fresh one. Miller-McIntyre returned, and then came the shock. He gave Relja and his mother 25,000 dinars.

The most heartwarming part of the story came when Relja told his mother what he wanted to do with the money he earned. He decided to buy new sneakers and basketball gear – and start playing basketball. Thus, the lemonade sold for 50 dinars at a small stand became much more than summer earnings. It gave the boy the impetus to take the first step towards a big dream.
