A huge smile immediately creases the face of Dante Exum when he glances at a pair of old childhood photos from Australia.
In one, the Utah Jazz guard is stretched out on the ground next to his brother, Jamaar, as they’re engaged in a heated battle of NBA 2K11 at their friend Ben Simmons’ house.
“That’s just a classic,” Exum said while pointing at the photo. “That was at Ben’s. That’s just a classic… we didn’t even know they took the photo because we were so into it.”
Then, in the other one, the baby-faced Exum and Simmons are sitting side-by-side grinning in navy blue button-down shirts staring at the camera.
