Jordan took the man to the shoe store because the man was homeless and had worn down shoes.
I helped a homeless man today. How did that come about? He was on the street and his toes were coming out of his shoes, so I took him to a shoe store. How did that help him? Well, I bought some shoes for him. Did you think I just dropped him at the store? No, knowing you I figured you bought him shoes.  I was just trying and failing to be clever.
