Happy Tuesday! It’s time to start your day! Come on, get out of bed, let’s go!
fun fact: Now, retired NBA stars Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady didn’t find out they were cousins until their late teens!
While Carter was playing at the University of North Carolina (UNC), McGrady was in high school and they worked on his game together. One weekend McGrady went to a family reunion and his grandma introduced him to a cousin. She told McGrady that she wanted to introduce him to her grandson named Vincent, who plays basketball at UNC. They found out on the spot that they are cousins.
They both ended up playing together for the Toronto Raptors early in their careers (which, how that ended, still gives Raptors fans nightmares).
