Junior
Junior, from Garden of Dreams partner organization WHEDco, was first introduced to Garden of Dreams when he visited the Garden for a New York Knicks game last spring and met Kristaps Porzingis before the game. This past fall, Junior sat courtside for the Knicks Open Practice, where he received Carmelo Anthony's jersey as part of the 'Knickerbocker Assist', and also visited the Empire State Building with Knicks alumni John Starks, Larry Johnson, and Bernard King. In December, Junior and his family joined the Knicks for the Knicks Holiday Shopping Spree at Target.
