11月3日，据24直播网报道，近期，湖人队的新星卡梅隆·卡尔在纪录片《THE CALL: HOOPERS》中分享了他父亲对其篮球之路的深远影响。
卡尔从小就沐浴在篮球的熏陶之中，他的父亲曾是NBA的杰出运动员，而他的母亲曾在森林狼俱乐部担任职务。卡尔透露，在他仅有两岁半的年纪，便跟随父亲踏入训练场，以至于那间训练馆对他而言，如同一个临时托儿所。
卡尔自幼便因父亲的职业篮球背景，得以频繁接触众多NBA球星，并在他们的熏陶下，逐渐领悟了职业篮球的真谛。他坦言：“在一位亲身经历者身边，我受益匪浅。尤其是在遭遇低谷、对篮球失去热情之际，他总能给予我坚定的信念与源源不断的动力。”
父亲未对卡尔施加压力，让其自主投身于篮球的怀抱，并在卡尔面临挑战时伸出援手，这一举动卡尔铭记于心。
During the 1995 NBA Draft, Chris Carr was selected by the Suns in the second round as the 56th overall pick. His NBA journey spanned six seasons, during which he played for the Suns, Wolves, Nets, Warriors, Bulls, and Celtics. Across 297 regular-season games, Carr averaged 6.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per contest.
In the 1997 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, Chris Carter left an indelible mark as he advanced to the finals, securing the runner-up position, with the title going to the then-18-year-old Kobe Bryant. Post-retirement, Carter transitioned into coaching. Cameron grew up shadowing his father around the training facilities, mingling with numerous NBA stars, and his father emerged as a pivotal mentor in his quest for a professional basketball career.
