Quebec basketball is in perfect health. It is largely thanks to players like Luguentz Dort and Benédict Mathurin, star players from the NBA.
Mathurin held the 3rd edition of his Elite Basketball camp on Sunday at Henri-Bourassa high school.
Very few were the examples of success in basketball for Bennedict and Jennifer Mathurin, ten years ago. It was therefore self -evident for the two members of the Mathurin siblings to hold a basketball camp for young Montrealers for a third year. “It gives them the opportunity to be able to believe in what I do, but also to see that they can do it themselves too. It is a question of hope, “said the Pacers player of Indiana.
“It’s super important, because there are a lot of young people,” added Jennifer. Basketball is growing in Montreal, especially in Montreal-North. There are many young people who need models. We didn’t really have any models when we were young. So it is important to come back and give hope to young people. »»
Mathurin and the Pacers went to a victory to be sacred NBA champions. It was ultimately another Montrealers, Luguentz Dort, who had the upper hand. Another great proof of basketball success in Montreal.
“It is something good for the city of Montreal. Whether it was me or read, the trophy came to Montreal, explained Bennedict. This is something that is good for the city of Montreal, basketball level. To be able to have people who watched the match together, it’s really good. »»
Bennedict Mathurin and his sister Jennifer both received the Quebec National Assembly Medal on Sunday for their work and their involvement in the community.
