Daily News | De’Andre Hunter return to hometown with bigger role — and contract — for Atlanta Hawks: ‘I just want kids in Philly to know it’s possible’
Like any Philly native unimpressed by cheesesteak tourist traps, De’Andre Hunter must make the trip to Dalessandro’s whenever he returns to his home city.
“I just always wanted to be a role model for the younger kids,” Hunter said following shootaround earlier this month. “So them seeing me being from Philly — actually from the city — doing the things like getting the contract and playing against the Sixers and playing in the NBA, I just want kids in Philly to see that and know it’s possible.”
“I grew up playing on the playground, so not really many rules, coaches, anything like that,” Hunter said. “You’ve kind of just got to stand up for yourself. I’m a quiet guy, but on the court I like to be competitive and I think playing here definitely developed that a lot.”
