Not many lessons can be learned by a young boy while being at the NBA All-Star game. It is purely for entertainment purposes and there are a lot of “adult” things that typically happen at these type of functions. However, I’m thoroughly impressed with the lesson that Fabolous taught his son while at the All-Star game. In fact, its a lesson that we all can benefit from. Here it is in from Fabolous Facebook page:

“Last night I told Stephen Curry a story of how last year at #AllStarWeekend in NYC I took my son to the All Star Game & at halftime he got to meet a lot of players. Steph was 1, and while doing warm ups at halftime he threw my son the ball & told him to take a shot. My son dribbled a couple times, threw it back to Steph & shook his head no. I’m standing there wit phone ready to take a pic of my son shooting wit Steph Curry & he turns it down! So I squat down & ask him why didn’t you shoot the ball??? My son says “I didn’t wanna miss the shot in front of all these people”. I dropped my head for a second & knew it was a LESSON to be learned here. I told him he has to take a shot to make a shot. Meaning you have to be willing to take a chance to be successful at anything. He said OK. I got it. I later made that a lyric on “All Good” on #TYOGP “Take a risk, you gotta shoot to miss”. Long story long, lol I shared father stories with Steph cuz it looks like his dad was a major part of his life & I see his same duty with his daughters.”
