PHILADELPHIA — Not long after he was drafted by the Utah Jazz, rookie Trey Lyles was asked while on a basketball show called The Starters to guess the age of Quin Snyder.
“I guessed 32, 33,” Lyles said. “I gave him the benefit of the doubt.”
Add one year to his guess.
Friday was Snyder’s birthday, which meant Lyles, Raul Neto and Tibor Pleiss had to fulfill their rookie duties of singing to their coach.
“They did a nice job,” Snyder said.
Yes, he was giving them the benefit of the doubt, too.
Neto’s assessment of his version of the song that differs from what they sing to those celebrating birthdays in Brazil?
