Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard recently gave a young fan an unforgettable experience when he played a game of one-on-one at a local park.
The heartwarming moment was captured on video by Pritchard’s wife, Emma, and quickly went viral on social media.
Emma shared the video on her Instagram story, showing Pritchard in an all-white outfit, backing down a much smaller child who had the biggest smile on his face. Despite the clear size difference, Pritchard didn’t hold back, showcasing his skills with a turnaround jump shot that left the young fan in awe.
“We took our dog to the park and I turn around and find him here,” Emma captioned the post, adding a series of laughing emojis.
