Things were going so well for the Detroit Pistons when they played the Toronto Raptors on Sunday that Andre Drummond felt he could take a bit of a break.
Andre Drummond grabs a young fan and plops him on the Pistons bench mid-game
Nothing like taking some time out to chat with the youth
A young fan wandered back behind the bench and the center picked him up and plopped him down next to him. ESPN caught the video.
We can only assume the little guy wanted to talk strategy, or maybe give Drummond some tips on his rebound game. (He had 12 in Sunday's game, three less than his average.) Whatever he was saying, Drummond seemed to take the words to heart, while Reggie Jackson and Aron Baynes were pretty tickled on the other side of the boy.
This weekend, the kid is on the bench in a T-shirt and a Gatorade towel, but who knows, maybe in 15 years he’ll be there in a uniform. And a Gatorade towel.
