BOSTON — As Terry Rozier trotted onto the hardwood ahead of a 2016 Utah Jazz Summer League game; a young fan caught his attention near the Vivint Arena tunnel.
“Hey,” Selena Ferrel shouted.
“Oh, what’s up?” Rozier responded, before stepping onto the court.
“Can you sign this?” she asked, holding her clear iPhone case. “I don’t have nothing else.”
Although the Boston Celtics guard looked back and kept going, Rozier eventually returned to autograph the case. Later that night, Ferrel shared the experience with her younger brother, Sergio, in Salt Lake City.
They then watched Rozier’s Louisville highlights on YouTube, admiring his style of play, then Sergio decided to launch a @team.
