They never really was on NBC because they were never good for a while. But every chance I got to watch I would. Who was your biggest basketball influence? Kyle Lowry: A.I. was one of my biggest basketball influences. For sure my brother. But in the NBA, of course we all liked Michael Jordan back then. -via Andscape / April 30, 2024
