Alright, so I was kicking back the other day, just browsing through some news, you know how it is. Stumbled upon something about the recent NBA draft.
Saw this young guy, Devin Carter. He got picked up by the Sacramento Kings, I think he was the number 13 pick overall. Pretty big deal for him, starting his career.
But here’s the part that caught my eye. I dug a little deeper, just curious, and found out his dad is Anthony Carter. Yeah, the Anthony Carter, former player, now he’s an assistant coach in the league. I think I read somewhere he’s with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Thinking About Family in the Pros
So, picture this: Devin makes his debut, his first official NBA game. And who are the Kings playing? The Grizzlies! His dad is right there on the other team’s bench. That’s gotta be a strange feeling, right?
It got me thinking about families in these high-stakes professions. You got a father and son, both involved at the highest level of basketball.
- One’s starting his journey as a player.
- The other’s coaching, probably trying to figure out how to stop his own son’s team!
They mentioned Devin’s from Miami. Son of Anthony and Cassie Carter. It just paints a picture, doesn’t it? Growing up around the game, probably, and now you’re facing off against your dad’s team on night one.
It’s not like my job, that’s for sure. My dad helped me out plenty when I started working, sure, but we weren’t exactly direct competitors! This is a whole different level. You want your son to do well, obviously, but you also have a job to do for your team.
Just found that whole dynamic really interesting. You see these stories pop up sometimes in sports, and they add a real human element to it all. Pretty cool for the Carter family, I bet, even if it’s a bit weird on game night.
