STILLWATER — Scrolling through his social media feeds recently, Lindy Waters III stopped to watch a video with a theme that resonated.
Be who you needed when you were younger.
Waters, of Cherokee and Kiowa heritage, grew up with few Native Americans to idolize in sports. For that reason, Waters, a Norman native on the Oklahoma State basketball team, strives to be that idol for others.
“When I was younger, I really didn't have anybody to look up to besides my dad, and I know there's little kids out there that are in the same situation,” Waters told The Oklahoman.
