Last Sunday night, Nassir Little and the Phoenix Suns were having a great time. Little was coming off one of his greatest games of the year, Devin Booker
had sealed a significant victory over the New York Knicks on the road with a game-winning 3-pointer, and the Suns had won seven straight.
Little had another kind of lasting shock a few hours after the game concluded when his pregnant girlfriend called. A parent can only truly understand this kind of high: You have to hurry, the baby is almost here.
It was probably around 10:30 New York time when she called me, Little remarked. “At around 11:30, she said, ‘You need to come back.’ I’m just letting you know, some contractions happened, but just be on standby.'” I’m calling every private jet firm I know of and searching for the trips as a result.”
Someone managed to get through and locate Little a flight back in less than an hour and a half. Little texted his mother for updates the entire way home, and she reacted by requesting his E.T.A.
He continued to feel a desperate feeling of urgency even after arriving at the hospital. Little made a joke about how, at one point, if he had made the necessary turn left
Nassir Little made it there just in the nick of time: On Monday, Nov. 27, Brielle Little entered the world. Her dad joked that thanks to his long arms and his girlfriend’s wingspan, Brielle already has a bit of an athletic body type, with long fingers and feet.
“It’s the best feeling I ever had, man,” Little said. “I’ve had the opportunity to achieve a lot of things that I’m proud of, but that’s definitely be the proudest moment I’ve had.
