Some feel-good stories simply never get old. And the “gift your parents something nice for their support after you achieve success” feel-good story is about as good as it gets.
The participant this time is Quinn Cook. After spending a few years fighting for his role in professional basketball, Cook is finally able to cash the kind of checks that basketball players dream of.
After leaving Duke in 2015 and going undrafted, Cook spent all of the 2015-16 season in the G-League. In 2016-17, he spent most of the year in the G-League, though he did make his NBA debut.
