Cameron Carter-Vickers was too short to follow his dad to the NBA but he is happy to be shooting for glory in some very different hoops.
His father Howard, nicknamed Hi-C, was a shooting guard with the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks in the 1980s. Carter-Vickers, who made the permanent £6million move to Celtic from Tottenham Hotspur this summer, is a fan of basketball but felt more at ease with the ball at his feet than in his hands.
The central defender, though, reckons having a dad who was a professional sportsman has helped him get where he is today, starring for Celtic and the USA. He said: “My mum and dad are pretty easy-going. They are all pleased for me. They are happy if I am happy.
