My Trip to the Harlem House of Hoops
What’s up everyone? We’re back at home after a 2-0 road trip. Great to keep this winning going. While we were in NYC, I had a little event at the House of Hoops in Harlem, right on 125th Street across the street from the Apollo Theater.
Jeff Green, Russell Westbrook and James Harden came with me, so it was pretty nice to have some company.
I’ve been in a few House of Hoops before and I’ve been to the one in Harlem before to look around but this was my first time making an appearance. It was a cool time. There were a lot of kids who came out and supported us. There were a lot of people who like watching us play. It felt good because not too many people know who we are and to come up here in one of the biggest cities in the world, representing the Oklahoma City Thunder, that was awesome.
It was just a question and answer session, I signed some autographs, held a raffle for sneakers and played video games with kids. It was very exciting to do and I had fun. And just being in Harlem, which has so much basketball history in Harlem was pretty neat, too.
As a kid, you know what Rucker Park is and you know about New York basketball and you’ve seen the And-1 tapes and it’s something you wanted to be a part of and followed as a kid. So to come up here and have people know who you are, that’s something that meant a lot to us and hopefully we’ll continue to make them proud as a team and hopefully we come back and have more appearances there.
Alright y’all. That’s it for now. Any of you pick up the KD II’s yet? What do you think of them?
