Atlanta Hawks rookie swingman DeAndre Bembry spoke with the NBPA’s Jared Zwerling about his younger brother, Adrian. The younger Bembry was shot and killed in Charlotte trying to break up a fight two weeks before the NBA Draft.
DeAndre had a very close relationship with Adrian, which explains why he chose to wear the No. 95 on his jersey for his rookie season in Atlanta. Adrian was born in 1995.
DeAndre detailed just how close he was to his brother to Zwerling:
We were with each other almost everyday, whether it was us outside playing manhunt or us in the house playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City or Madden.
