Met Thon Maker and his brother Matur Maker
So im working at Sportchek and these two giants walk in - My buddy who plays ball (more than me) tells me thats Thon Maker. They come to the footwear section and I talked to him for a bit....
Conversation: I asked him Are you the guy who came from Australia - he said yea (very shy at first) I told him I recognized him from his videos and I heard hes going top 5 as of now - he says yea my brother is going to as well (to the NBA) - I asked his brothers name (Matur) and said thats cool. I asked how he's liking Canada he said he likes it, he came here 2 years ago. My friend asked do you know where you want to go to college and he said I dont know I don't have a preference -- I said It's probably all new to you right now and you havent thought about all that yet - he said yea. I asked do you wanna play for the Raptors he laughed and said who knows (Body language dictates he rather explore America - hes not a big of a fan of the Raptors as Wiggins for example). I said well cool bro best of luck and I'll keep an eye out for you, he said nice talking to you and proceeded to walk away with his brother.
Observations: Thon is a very nice kid, 17 years old. He was trying to take the spot light and shed it on his brother as well (because I knew him but not his younger brother). He picked out a retro LBJ Cavs jersey. He is tall enough to grab the shirts from the top isle that usually we require a stick with a hook on it to get it down. He is SKINNY - Looked to be no more than a 190 with the height.
In hindsight I should have got him to sign a pair of shoes and sold them but I didn't want to seem like a fanboy.
Yea no pics.

Don't buy retail, go wholesale instead. You'll need to contact a Bron Maker
