“My brother UD and I, we learned how to be selfless leaders together. But the protection that he provided me on and off the court, provided the safety of a big brother, and it allowed me to bloom and blossom.”
So, Kaavia’s words extended her father’s admiration for Django’s contributions. This showcased the imperishable nature of their families’ bond, setting a benchmark for NBA friendships.
