When Ethan Guzman noticed a kid in his Washington Heights neighborhood playing basketball with no shoes on, he immediately went into action.
After speaking with the kid he learned that he had just arrived to the United States that day and was used to playing basketball with no shoes on or sandals back home.
His father, Emmanuel, captured what happened next in a post that he uploaded to Instagram.
With dreams to one day go into the NBA, Ethan has already proven that he has the teamwork mentality that it takes to go all the way. Ethan, because of you!
