LOS ANGELES — As a teenager, Clippers guard Luke Kennard often went to King Island, an amusement park near his southern Ohio home where roller coasters were not the only draw for the high school basketball star. There was also a three-point shooting contest.
On his way to setting Ohio’s all-time high school scoring record, passing even LeBron James, Kennard won many games at King Island.
“They had jerseys hanging on the walls and video-game consoles, prizes to win if you got a certain number,” Kennard said this month. “So I walked away with a lot of NBA jerseys growing up and a couple of video-game consoles. So, yes, it was a lot of fun.”
