These kids really scored!
Brooklyn Nets superstar Isaiah Whitehead inspired young ballplayers during his third-annual Giveback Day in Coney Island on Aug. 6. The next generation of professional players joined Whitehead for a cookout and intense games of basketball.
It was great for the kids to see their hero in action, said one player who made the trip all the way from faraway New Jersey.
“He gave a little word of advice, everyone came out in support, and seeing him play, it was cool,” said Torrey Brooks.
Brooks brought along his son and nephews, who were both starstruck to see the former Abraham Lincoln High School basketball standout, he said.
“It was pretty good, the kids liked it,” said Brooks. “They both enjoyed it.”
Hometown hero: Whitehead was on hand to hang out with youngsters Tyron Caviness, Torrey Brooks Jr., and Tyrone Caviness.
