A good true story: Two freshman girls were going back to the dorms(towers) and had to cross a huge puddle caused by all the melting recently. A car pulled by them and the girls thought they might get sprayed by the water but instead the guys in the car asked them if they needed help crossing. One guy got out and helped them cross by carrying them. The guy was a tall AA guy and when they thanked him they asked his name. It was DeAndre Kane. He said "your welcome." and drove off. FYI- there also was a story about DeAndre giving his shoes to a homeless person when he thought nobody was looking. This happened sometime before the season. He is a great Cyclone representative!
DeAndre Kane good guy again.

I was nearby and you could tell by his tone that he meant that version. OP captured it well.
Only in Ames does that story make sense. Just being realistic, but you think in Chicago two young girls are going to get carried by a member of alcoholics anonymous?
Also, fail on them - Kane should have been recognizable if they watch sports.

One day Kane was shaving his head for locks of love when he saw a baby bluebird smash into his apt window. He rushed downstairs and nursed the bird back to health. Just across the street he saw smoke coming from someone's kitchen. He immediately broke open the window, went inside, and dragged out an unconscious senior citizen. In gratitude, the man put Kane in his will. When the man died Kane was left with $500,000. Knowing he couldn't keep it and lead the Cyclones to a final four, he donated the money to the Story County orphanage where there lived a little boy named Roy Reiman. Roy grew up, became successful, and never forgot the gift Kane gave to his childhood home. In honor of Kane's actions, Roy donated $25 million to the SEZ project in hopes the legend of Iowa State athletics would grow. This story is true, but not in linear order.
