After all, the 22-year-old has to stay in top physical shape to survive the daily grind of the NBA (National Basketball Association). But the Cleveland Cavaliers' power forward also knows staying healthy is not just for the athletes, but something everyone needs to think about. That's why the professional basketball player was in Oakville Wednesday, to help the nonpro t Canadian organization Concerned Children's Advertisers launch its second annual Healthy Me Week, which runs from June 2-8. "Being active is important," the 6-foot-9 NBA sophomore told a group of young children at the YMCA of Oakville, where the national Healthy Me Week kickoff took place. The start of the Healthy Me Week coincides with YMCA Healthy Kids Day on Sunday. "I want you all to remember to get up, fuel up and own up. Let's get started," Thompson said.
