All three have fond memories of battling with their dads in the family driveway or at the rec center.
The three current Jayhawks picked up a few things from their fathers, as well. I learned a lot from my mom, not just about basketball but also about life. “All of us had strong mothers, who taught us we had to work hard and weren’t going to have things handed to us,” Jalen recently told the Journal-World. While the lessons from mom covered everything from crossover dribbles and post moves to attitude and effort, Jalen recently said the biggest thing his mom taught him was something he knows his teammates learned from their mothers, as well.
Whether it was Yvonne Adams’ silky scoring, Carmen Dick’s punishing post moves or Lisa Wilson’s versatile all-around game, these moms did enough with a basketball in their hands for their sons to pay attention.
