Jaxon Richardson on growing up in an NBA family

On Monday, "The Field of 68 Podcast" shared a conversation with Jaxon Richardson in which he talked about the impact of growing up in an NBA household.

“It’s kind of like a cheat sheet, honestly,” he said. “They know what to do in the process because my dad’s already been there and my brother just made it there.”

Jaxon credited his father, Jason Richardson, a two-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion, and his brother Jase for helping him improve his game as well as his off-court skills.

“They give me good information on how to approach the game, especially the business side and what you need to be ready for,” he said.

“They tell me what to do and what not to do,” Jaxon added. “It’s easier to handle things because I already know what’s expected.”

Richardson has his senior year ahead to decide on his college of choice.
