How Nassir Little became a basketball star with the help of Darryl Hardin

Posted Jan 11, 2019
Nassir Little smiles at the iPhone screen in front of him. He’s FaceTiming Darryl Hardin. It’s Little’s first time seeing Myla, born on September 15, 2018. She is the daughter of Hardin, who is like an older brother to Little, the man who invested so much time in making Little into the player he is today. The moment is special because the two have been through so much together. (Daily Tar Heel)
