Before the Summer Olympics in Paris, Rowan Barrett and his son RJ – a dynamic duo known for their basketball prowess – had an interview with CBC’s Dwight Drummond. The Toronto Raptors’ standout player will wear jersey number 9 at the tournament, just like his father did during the Sydney Games in 2000. Although he acknowledges his dad’s successful career, as a resident of Mississauga, this talented athlete credits not only one but both sides of his family; specifically mentioning how athleticism runs deep on mom’s side too!
