That really is something special. There’s obviously other ways to thank your parents for being supportive. Trying the hardest you can to be the best possible man. Succeeding in your career. Being an honest man.

Even then, something like this is always nice to see.

Interestingly enough, Morant’s father was a high school teammate of Pro Basketball Hall of Fame guard Ray Allen. He now has a son starring in the NBA and on a major upward trajectory.

Life is good for this family.
