“He actually had his mother shot,” Sonya shared the story. “From the hip. It was good form, but it was from the hip. So, going from being really successful at it, shooting threes, cause he was small, same thing with me. Being small in high school. So he was accurate with it, but it just wouldn’t suffice to the next level, with him being the size that he was. Then Dell took over from there.”
