Before becoming Hollywood’s top hip-hop artist, Travis Scott also had a humble experience in high school. Recently, on Jimmy Kimmel Live television, he shared about his time working in the NBA as a ball boy.
Famous as a “hardcоre fan” of the Houston Rockets, Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend revealed that he used to work at this team’s home stadium: “I have met many basketball stars from different teams like Kyle Lowry, Rafer Alston, Chuck Hayes,… At that time, the Rockets were not a team with many big stars.”
“Melo once signed his headband for me, when Melo played for the Denver Nuggets. That was funny because ball handlers weren’t supposed to have contact with basketball stars. Melo must be I don’t remember this,” the hip-hop artist revealed.
The 29-year-old rapper also shared a memorable memory between him and the late legend Kobe Bryant: “I always remember the day I met Kobe. He even signed a ball for me. This job helped us become closer.” Being close to the players. For example, helping them after the match or seeing them off to the bus. It’s a great work experience.”
In particular, in the interview, he also emphasized an implicit contract between the players and the caddies, which he called an “honor agreement”. At the same time, Travis also encouraged those pursuing this job to try to fulfill their duties well and maintain the contract with the athletes.The hip-hop star’s advice may have been learned from himself. 10 years after working as a ball boy, Travis’ career has now reached its peak. In recent years, fans have often seen him sitting in the courtside seats and listening to his hоt hits played during matches.

Many brands want to collaborate with this singer, including Jordan, the brand that once released special shoe color combinations named Travis Scott.Indeed, the efforts of the ball boy every day finally paid off. Hopefully the story of Travis Scott’s teenage work will widely inspire today’s young talents.
