[@LynetteLockhart]

Chris, I know you're probably never gonna see this......but the moment I knew you were destined for greatness also started with tears. It was your rookie season. Raps were playing a "win and get in" game for the last playoff spot. And late in the 4th when it was obvious they'd fall short....the coach pulled the starters. The camera panned to you on the bench....seated next to a smiling Vince Carter. Your eyes were full as he joked with you. You shrugged him off & pulled the towel over your head and in that moment I became a devoted fan of yours. I saw how much the game meant to you & I knew......you were going to leave it all on the court. I'm so proud of the player & man you've become. May God continue to bless you & your beautiful family with good health & strength. 💕💕
