More on this storyline
Barnes admits that as a young player, he was simply trying to make it in the league, focusing on improving his game and adjusting to the demands of the NBA. However, the lessons from these veterans about family, finances, and maturity weren’t lost on him. “That helped my development just understanding different sides of things and understanding how to raise a family; having a wife and two kids and just having those conversations really helped me with my development,” he says, highlighting how much those moments shaped his off-the-court growth. -via ScoopB.com / February 24, 2025
As a member of the San Antonio Spurs, Harrison Barnes finds himself surrounded by young, hungry players eager to learn and grow. One of the standout features of the current Spurs roster, according to Barnes, is the willingness of the young guys to absorb lessons from the veterans around them, including him and fellow veteran Chris Paul. “The thing that surprised me about our situation is that all the guys here listen and want to learn,” Barnes says, referring to the strong sense of camaraderie within the locker room. “A lot of times people assume that we’re in the locker room and we don’t hear what they’ve got to say and that’s not the case.” -via ScoopB.com / February 24, 2025
Barnes is quick to mention the unique dynamic with Chris Paul, one of the most well-respected point guards in the league, who also takes the time to pour into the younger players. “Our relationship is unbelievable,” Barnes says. “It’s great to have Chris around, sharing his knowledge with the younger guys and really investing in them.” -via ScoopB.com / February 24, 2025
