These days, a great deal of young professionals want to have a favorable influence on their parents. One of the happiest things in the world would surely be to have one’s parents’ love returned to oneself. For Los Angeles Lakers center Christian Wood, that feeling has finally come true.
In a positive X post, Wood described how he finally managed to keep his word and buy his mother’s ideal home.
“Lift aim…When I was eighteen and broke and had no money, I promised my mother that before I turned thirty, I would buy her the house of her dreams,” Wood captioned the photo. “At this point, I’ve successfully completed that!” “You have my undying love!”
It takes persistence, hard work, and confidence, among other things, to keep a spot on the NBA roster each year. For Wood, it was all of the above and more, coupled with an insatiable drive to fulfill a ten-year promise.
Moreover, it seems that this dedication has helped him continue to play the role that is expected of him on the field. Wood has a history of enhancing the offensive capabilities of the teams he has joined. In the previous season, the big man from UNLV averaged 16.6 points per game while playing for the Dallas Mavericks.
Before the season began, though, the Lakers asked that the 28-year-old take on a smaller role and focus on executing the “small things” to make a difference in the game. Wood explained his adjustment in November. Wood had been averaging 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds for the purple and gold.
According to Wood, “I’m not playing the role I played as a high-usage player who took a lot of shots for the past four or five years.” I have to make an effort to help the team rebound if needed in order to fulfill my duty as a role-player. “I am available to assist them in any way necessary,” he continued.
unselfish both on and off the court. Christian Wood has already succeeded in life by being the best kid a parent could ask for, regardless of whether he ever regains his prior scoring averages.
