I was at the bank this afternoon and the guy in front of me was David Lucas. David was a star player at Oregon State this season and is the son of former NBA star Maurice Lucas. He recognized me, since I have reffed him in the past.
He reminded me of a youth rec game I was working when his older brother, Maurice Jr. (nicknamed Reece) was playing. This was about 12 years ago when David was about 7. David was sitting with his mother and kept yelling whenever the opposing team would shoot a free throw. I went over and told him to be quiet and his mom gave him a lecture on sportmanship.
He told me he remembered the incident and his brother still teases him about it sometimes.
Man - did he get big since he was 7!
