Zach LaVine: I was in third or fourth grade, and I had an older cousin who was skateboarding. So, you know, I wanted to try it. You always want to try the stuff your older cousins do. My dad was getting pissed, though, because I wasn’t shooting or anything. “One day, he caught me skateboarding without a helmet. He said, ‘If I see you doing that [__] again, it’s over.’ And, of course, I did it again. He came out, smashed the skateboard, threw it over the fence, and said, ‘Go pick up your basketball. That skateboard isn’t getting you anywhere.’ That’s my dad, man.” -via YouTube / November 29, 2024
