Alex Labidou of the Nets website talked to the team’s two Angelenos, Spencer Dinwiddie and Allen Crabbe, about growing up in Los Angeles, where they eyed each other first as rising stars on the high school and AAU circuits and what it’s like being teammates for the first time.
Only a year apart in class, the two Nets, now aged 24 and 25, recalled to Labidou their first time watching each other on the court, at L.A.’s Pan Pacific Park Recreation Center.
“The first time we played each other was probably when I was 11 years old at the park,” Dinwiddie recalled to BrooklynNets.
