Rondae Hollis-Jefferson went above and beyond for his mom’s birthday on October 23rd. The Nets’ rookie and native of nearby Chester, Pennsylvania, finally fulfilled one of his childhood dreams by buying his mom an awesome new house.

The first round pick from Arizona spoke with the New York Post about the surprise:

We had a lot of our close family and friends and relatives at the house to surprise her. My sister was driving my mom to the house, and we told her to just knock on the door and ask for one of your friends.

The realtor opened the door and said, “Oh, who are you looking for?” When my mom said the name, the realtor said, “Oh, OK, come in.” Then everyone popped out and said, “Surprise!” and me and my brother had the cake, and she just started crying. To actually be able to show her the house and stuff on her birthday, it was a dream come true. It was a blessing.
