Nice.. that reminds me, Kyle Anderson got drafted & I don't think I've ever mentioned this here. I've seen him in person a few times when I was younger and he used to play ball at least a few times at the courts I normally play at back when I was in elementary school. He lived a city away from me too.
My memory is bad so I can't remember if I ever actually played basketball with him before but I'm pretty sure I did. I remember seeing him around for sure, though but it's kind of a blur in general cause I never really paid attention to him back then (not thinking he'd grow up to be an NBA player... although I do think he was getting hyped up even then). I just remembered him after being told a few years ago when there was a lot of hype around here about him probably getting in the NBA soon, and how he used to be at all these places nearby when he was young.
Anyway, this is the closest I've been to knowing a professional athlete ever. I'm rooting for him.
