Wow – it is so difficult to choose just one favorite memory from such an amazing season where this team grew and fought and triumphed after learning to persevere as a family.
However, the first one that jumps to mind has little to do with basketball: watching Jrue and his daughter JT on the court pregame almost brought me to tears. It’s why I love home games the most – just to get to see them together.
Obviously, JT loves her dad and basketball so much! Watching her, knowing she’s healthy, knowing Lauren is healthy – after all that family has been through - how could it not be my favorite memory?
The strength, faith and love Jrue and Lauren carried themselves with through this entire ordeal is awe-inspiring. It inspires me to want to be better and do more for others. Every time JT helps her dad warmup before the game, I get chills and am reminded what life is really all about.
