Every once in a while I stick my foot in my mouth without even knowing it.

During my chat with Samuel Dalembert on Sunday, we talked about Haiti, being given the NBA cares award in January and how the past few months have affected him and his family. Since the topic of family came up I asked if he had seen his family today or if they had plans to visit from Montreal (a five hour drive from Toronto). Dalembert proceeded to laugh and tell me it was way too early to see family due to the noon tip.

No big deal, right? Wrong. Turns out Dalembert was held out of the starting five because he was late for team meeting this morning. Oops!

Regardless of unknowingly asking the wrong question, Dalembert still provided a solid answer to my question. Classy move from the veteran when a young reporter asked the wrong question.

Here’s the audio clip of my chat with Dalembert:
