SKIP TO MY LOU! My favorite basketball player of all time, Rafer Alston.
I started watching Skip when he came to my hometown from Rucker Park and started playing at Fresno City College then at Fresno State. My dad and I would look forward to game day at Selland Arena and go early just to watch Skip warm up. His creativity on the court was something I had never seen before as a kid. He wasn’t all show though, Skip could run a team and be the strongest defender on the court. After breaking everyone’s ankles in college he got drafted to the NBA where I followed him throughout his career. .
I wore number 11 from jr high to high school to college because of Skip. I think I’ll draw more poses of him in action and put together a full character design sheet! Hope you like the cartoon version of you Skip! (@officialrafer_alston) .
