And with that ribbon cutting, the Silver Spring Neighborhood Center received a new court, courtesy of the Pat Connaughton Foundation.
Did the Bucks fan favorite ever dream of his name on a court?
“Funny enough no,” Connaughton says. “But as a kid, obviously I dreamed of playing in the NBA. I dreamed of getting drafted in baseball. I dreamed of being in the dunk contest. I dreamed of being an NBA champion. And as I was able to kind of check some of those off over time, I wanted to give back to the people and places that helped make me who I am, because I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”
At first, Pat didn’t want his name on the court, but others helped him see the end game.
