How can you not? The latest reason comes from Jess Camerato's piece on Leon, in which he says he's gonna try to save everybody.
“I’ve seen a lot of kids growing up in and out of foster care, in and
out of group homes, in and out of jail, and I’ve got a lot of friends
that were the same way,” Powe said. “I just thought my mentor took me
in and showed me a new way of life, and that’s not the way I was
thinking at first. At first I was thinking in a negative way and
thinking there was not place out there for me for school, just to do
something period. He had me thinking a different way, and if you put
your mind to what you wanted to do like I did in school and my grades
went from really low to a 3.8 [G.P.A]. And I never thought I could do
that, but he believed in me so I believed in myself and I just said,
this is worth a try.”

much,” Powe said. “They tell me I can’t save everybody but I say, ‘I
will try. I will try to save everybody.’”
He should be everyone's favorite player. He plays the game of basketball the way it should be played, and he conducts himself the way a person should conduct himself. He truly is a role model. I hope he stays a Celtic forever.
