KID HOMETOWN
LUBBOCK, TEXAS, isn’t particularly close to anywhere—the nearest major city is Dallas, about a fivehour drive east. Point being, as Jarrett Culver begins his professional basketball career, he’ll be living and hooping somewhere other than home for the first time in his life.
By the time you read this, of course, you’ll know where Culver—the star of Texas Tech’s unlikely run to the NCAA title.). But you probably don’t know the depth of his relationship to his hometown, the place where his parents settled, where he learned the game, where he chose to stay for college even when other programs came calling. Until now, he’s simply never had a good reason to leave.
