Probably the most sobering second within the 2023 NBA Draft got here on the No. 11 decide when the Orlando Magic chosen Jett Howard … sure, that’s Juwan Howard’s son.
It is a very particular ache for olds, and one I really feel too effectively. I began accumulating basketball playing cards when simply Juwan Howard was a rookie, and he was the man you took as a rookie card as a throw-in commerce when everybody on the playground was searching for Shaquille O’Neal and Alonzo Mourning playing cards from a few years earlier. Now he’s sitting subsequent to his son and watching him head to Orlando.
I’ve by no means felt a tweet so deeply in my soul and really feel so dangerous whereas watching one thing come to fruition. Shout out to everybody who remembers watching Juwan Howard play at Michigan, additionally proper now it’s after 9 p.m. and it’s virtually bedtime.
