In the days before Anthony’s death, Mason delivered a beautiful statement about his relationship with his All-Star father:
”The cool thing is in certain games, if I mess up or do something, I can picture him with his facial expression, and I start laughing and get into a comfort zone. We have like a deep connection. He doesn’t have to be here for me to know he’s watching me.“We hope Anthony can give Antoine a little bit of help on the court Wednesday.
