Moody surprises young Warriors superfan paralyzed by stray bullet

> Asa is an 8-year-old from Oakland whose young life was forever changed on July 14, when he was struck in the back of the neck by a stray bullet. He was hit while riding in the backseat of a car driving down I-580 that was caught between two cars with people shooting at each other.
>
>Asa is paralyzed from the neck down. He lives on a respirator and a feeding tube and requires round-the-clock nursing care, therapy and more surgeries to come.
>
>Through it all, though, his family sees Asa’s passions glimmer at the surface.
>
>“He’s not always that excited to get up in the wheelchair, which is new to him,” said Asa’s mom, Melissa Neuwelt. “But when he found out Moses Moody was coming he said, ‘Let’s do this.’”

> “You’re on TV and that TV does something to you and you become famous,” Moody said. “Your status grows and that all comes with what it does, but at the same time you can look at that and realize the effect you have on kids and people in general.
>
>“The higher your status gets, the (more) you can do to make a bigger impact.”
>
>With Asa’s grandparents, parents and little brother gathered around as Moody and Asa chatted. No cameras, no fuss. They talked about superheroes, movies, sports and Moody told him all about what it’s really like to play in the NBA. Moody pulled from his bag a bunch of goodies and a No. 4 Moody jersey.
>
>Asa grinned.

Moody is one of the very best eggs. So glad he’s a Warrior!
