Kelly Oubre Jr. likes to walk around with medium-sized shorts when he’s supposed to be wearing an extra long.
The 20-year-old, to some, comes off as an arrogant youngster without life experience. But to those who know Oubre and his story, it’s apparent the New Orleans native is anything but arrogant.
In 2005, Oubre Sr. packed up his bags and left Louisiana for Texas with the assumption that Hurricane Katrina was going to devastate his hometown.
Oubre, just 9-years-old at the time, was able to escape what became one of the worst disasters in the nation’s modern history.
