«Breaking News» Charlotte Hornets' Frank Kaminsky carries a baby down 49 stories during evacuation

Basketball star Frank Kaminsky of the Charlotte Hornets proved that he's much more than an athlete - he's a Good Samaritan too.  

The 25-year-old athlete was playing the video game Fornite and eating Cheez-Its in his North Carolina high rise on Thursday afternoon when the fire alarm suddenly went off. 

When residents of the building were told to evacuate in response to a bomb threat, he bolted towards the stairs. 

On his way down he saw a neighbor frantically trying to evacuate while carrying a baby, holding her dog, and juggling a couple of other items in her arms.

'I had to walk down 49 stories because they shut off the elevators. Instead of grabbing my keys and my wallet, I grabbed a box of Cheez-Its for the long journey down,' he said.  

'About three stories down, there was a lady with a baby and a dog and a couple of other things she had to carry, so I just helped her carry the baby,' he added to the Charlotte Observer. 

For Kaminsky, lending a helping hand was a no-brainer. 

He added that he lived in the building for the past four years and knew the mother who was in need. 

'I'm just a Good Samaritan, not a hero,' Kaminsky said.

He took to Twitter to talk about the bizarre experience saying 'Did not think I would be carrying a baby down 50 flights of stairs today during a bomb threat at my building today'

He joked he waited for the elevators to be reactivated before going back in. 

'I'm not walking back up 49 floors. That's just not a thing that's going to happen,' he said.   

Afterwards he tweeted: 'Did not think I would be carrying a baby down 50 flights of stairs today during a bomb threat at my building today. But it happened. How was your day?' 

Mom Liz Prakash thanked Kaminsky by posting a sweet Instagram of the 6'11 giant carrying her baby boy. 

'Huge shout out to [Kaminsky] for carrying one sleeping baby down 44 flights of stairs,' she wrote.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
