On February 7, Beijing time, the Pelicans lost 84-99 away to the Cavaliers today, the Pelicans' Norris Cole attended his college jersey retirement ceremony before the game today, and LeBron James also attended in a low-key manner to support his former teammates.
Kerr played for Cleveland State University (CSU) from 2007 to 2011, wearing the number 30 jersey. Kerr has led the Vikings to the playoffs three times and topped the team's history.
In his remarks, CSU Vikings head coach Waters said Kerr has always been "known for his work ethic and leadership skills and deserves the award." He also called Kerr one of the most well-rounded players he's ever coached.
"I grew up academically, physically, and on the court," Cole said of his college years. I think it's cool to see my name and number hung high. ”
"I want to thank everyone who is here today. Thank you for your support of the university athletes. Thank you for supporting Kailey (another CSU women's basketball player who retired the jersey that night) and thank you for supporting me. Wherever I am, I make sure I can represent [Cleveland State]. Cole said.
James also attended the former teammate's jersey retirement ceremony today. It is worth mentioning that Kerr is also under James' agent, Rich Paul.
CSU head coach Waters said James' low profile may be because "he doesn't want to steal norris' limelight and wants to belong to Norris completely tonight." ”
"All rookies come to the NBA with all their abilities," said Principal Berkman, drawing on a quote from Dwyane Wade, "they're all talented." However, it is not talent that makes them successful, but character. To be successful, they have to be willing to understand that life and basketball are never-ending learning processes. Norris Cole explains this. ”
So far this season, Cole has averaged 25.5 minutes per game and can have 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
