Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson were in college at Villanova, looking to follow in Kyle Lowry’s footsteps, and he showed them what it would take.
Kyle Lowry already had been in the NBA for a decade by this point and was starting to emerge as one of the sport’s best point guards.
“In the summers, we would come in the gym at 6:30 a.m. for workouts and Kyle was finishing his work, drenched in sweat,” former Villanova coach Jay Wright recalled. “I would always find creative ways to make that point to Jalen and Josh and all the guys when they were younger: ‘Look at this NBA All-Star, we’re just getting in the gym and he’s finishing.’ He was definitely the big brother to those two.
Kyle Lowry reacts to an officials call during Game One of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs against the Bucks.“We have been blessed to have really competitive guys,” Wright said. “Those three right there are among the elite in terms of competitiveness. All three of them are guys that in practice, we always had to monitor because they could take the competitiveness a little bit too far sometimes.
