"Jackson Charpentier was launching high arching rainbows toward the
basket in front of his home as his grandfather guided him around the
court.
"There were x's on the pavement, marking possible shots for the
12-year-old, in a drill aimed at developing a quick release and shooting
off the dribble from different angles. . . .
"As the sixth-grader was running to his spots and hitting his shots,
Dakarai Smith was delivering packages for Amazon on the Charpentier's
street - almost startled to see someone outside. . . .
"Smith, a 6’5″ tall 24-year-old from Providence with a few basketball skills of his own, was impressed."
A recent WPRI-TV "Street Stories"
segment reported on what happened next in this neighborhood in North Kingstown, RI.
