WATCH: 61-Year-Old Grandfather Has Dreams Of Playing In NBA
Ice Cube’s Big 3 tournament showcased retired NBA players 40-years-old and up last month in Brooklyn. But how about a grandfather in his 60s who is interested in playing for an NBA team? A 61-year-old man has avid hoop dreams of making the NBA some day.
Former 1980 NBA Draft pick Calvin Roberts is still looking to make it big in the NBA. Standing at 6-foot-8, 246 pounds with a 7-foot wingspan, the Las Vegas grandfather reportedly hoped to astound recruiters and land a roster spot during the NBA Summer League tryouts this year — if given the opportunity.
