In an interview with The Athletic, he said that John had helped him develop the fundamentals of basketball. He always advised Donte to hurry up and practice rebounds to build his foundation every time they met.
After many years, when his son brought him inside for a tour following his NBA draft, he was excited to visit his favorite team getting mesmerized by the interiors.
