Say what you want about Utah Jazz center Greg Ostertag, but he sure seems like he's got his priorities in order. Ostertag has been reemed by fans and teammates as a soft player. But I wonder how many of his tough-guy teammates would do this-Ostertag will give one of his kidneys to his 26 year old sister, who is suffering from diabetes-related kidney problems. In the era of the "Me First" athlete, this is a great story. Hope all works out for Greg and his sister.

Ostertag underwent surgery today to donate his kidney. Here's the story on ESPN.com.

Good for him. And they say it should have no effect on his career. Though I bet he'd have done it anyway, even if it meant retirement.
