Understand this is an extremely long of long shots, but it must go through the kid’s mind. At least a little.
Anyway, it is nice to be attached to Kevin Durant’s name, and be the charter school. Durant is a little more known with today’s players than Lapchick, Carnesecca, Mullin, and the glory days of SJU, NYU, CCNY, and LIU playing double headers at the Garden.
