An Afternoon with Mr. Laettner

When David and I saw that Christian Laettner was coming to Aberdeen to put on a basketball camp, we were kinda excited.

When we told our kids that Christian Laettner was coming to Aberdeen to put on a basketball camp, they had only one question--"Who?"

Here we go again-back to the 90's!  Can I help it that the 90's were such a fabulous decade??

Nathan attended the afternoon camp with his friend Lincoln and learned basketball skills from not only Christian Laettner, but other talented former players as well.  They actually made them work pretty hard for the time they were there. Afterward, Laettner took the time to take a photo with each player after their sessions and signed photos for them as well. 

I remember Laettner playing for Duke and I saw him play once or twice for the Timberwolves. It was obvious that some of the parents were more excited than I was in seeing him there (e.g. Christian Laettner was their Garth Brooks). :)  And all of us were more starstruck than the players--most of whom weren't even born until at least a decade after Laettner's Duke days.

We appreciate his coming to South Dakota to teach these young players a thing or two about working hard and playing basketball!
