In partnership with the LA’s BEST After School Enrichment Program, Spectrum SportsNet turned their studio parking lot into an outdoor basketball court to host 50 kids for an instructional basketball clinic, led by studio hosts Derek Fisher, James Worthy and Chris McGee.
The students (ages 9-12) from Toland Way and Fletcher Drive Elementary Schools first listened to a Q&A by former Laker champions Fisher and Worthy, then got to work on the court before touring the SportsNet Lakers studio.
“I think just being around kids makes you feel like a kid again,” Fisher smiled.
“We used to be one of those kids, second to third grade, with all the same challenges they’re having right now, if they’re shy, or trying to meet friends, so we’ve been there so it’s always nice to reflect on that,” Worthy said.
