"He reminds me of his grandfather," Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told ESPN. "You could not control his grandpa, only hope to contain him. Grant has the same moves."
Mr. Abdul-Jabbar was commenting on the first basket scored by seven year old Grant Atchley, my grandson.
"I agree, Kareem," Jerry West said. "I think Grant should probably skip elementary school and go straight to the pros."
"He would be a lottery pick right now," Scott Skiles added. "I would have him in my top three in the June draft."
He can drop low, drop-step, jump-stop and cross over. He can go left or rock the rim down the alley. He is, to put it mildly, unstoppable. You should see him scoot and shoot on the fast break.
Oh, my.
