The image of LaMarcus Aldridge in a Spurs jersey was the cause of celebration in South Texas and a highlight of a busy Spurs offseason.For 9-year-old Leighann Casias, Aldridge’s image keeps her hair in place while she’s dribbling.
Casias wore a hair bow with an image of Aldridge on it when she met the new Spurs forward on Saturday.
She was one of about 150 elementary school students who met Aldridge and received a new backpack from him as part of LaMarcus Aldridge’s Back To School Bash at George Gervin Academy.
“I think he’s really good at basketball, so I like him a lot,” she said. “He’s already my favorite player.”
In his first public appearance as a Spur, Aldridge gave out backpacks filled with school supplies to elementary school students from the Boys and Girls Club and George Gervin Academy. The backpacks and supplies were courtesy of H-E-B.
“We’re just trying to help the kids get started off with school right,” Aldridge said. “This is a new community for me, so I want to get off to a good start.”
