Well, let me tell ya ’bout this young fella, Cormac Karl Max Christie Jr. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Folks just call him Max, easier that way. He’s one of them basketball players, you know, the tall fellas runnin’ around and throwin’ a ball into a hoop. He plays for the Lakers, that team from Los Angeles.
Now, this Max fella, he was born on February 10th, 2003. Just a young whippersnapper, really. But he’s already playin’ ball with the big boys, makin’ a name for himself. They say he’s a shootin’ guard, which I guess means he’s good at throwin’ that ball into the hoop. He’s right-handed, stands tall at 6-6, and weighs about 190 pounds, or somethin’ like that. They measure things different in them big cities.
Seems like basketball runs in his blood, ya know? His mama, Katrina, she played too. Scored a whole bunch of points back in her day, more than a thousand they say. Played for some place called Northwestern. Guess that’s where Max got his talent from.
This Max fella, he wasn’t always a Laker. He played for some college team, the Michigan State Spartans, before he went to the NBA. Then, in 2022, the Lakers picked him up in somethin’ called the draft. Said he was the 35th pick overall. Sounds fancy, but all I know is he ended up playin’ for the Lakers.
- Born: February 10, 2003
- Team: Los Angeles Lakers
- Position: Shooting Guard
- Height: 6-6 (198cm)
- Weight: 190lb
- Drafted: 2022, 35th overall pick
They say he’s gonna change his jersey number. Used to wear number 10, but now they say he’ll be wearin’ number 12. Don’t know why, maybe he likes that number better. Young folks these days, they do things their own way.
This Max Christie has a social media presence, or so I’m told. Somethin’ called Twitter and another thing called Instagram. He uses some names for them, Max12Christie and mchristiejr, I think. I don’t mess with that internet stuff myself, too complicated for an old woman like me. But I guess that’s how the young folks keep in touch these days.
Some folks are wonderin’ who he’s named after. See, his full name is Cormac Karl Christie Jr. And there’s this writer fella, named Cormac McCarthy. Some think maybe that’s where the name comes from. Could be, I reckon. Names are funny things, sometimes they mean somethin’, sometimes they don’t.
If you wanna know more about this Max fella, you can find all sorts of stuff on the internet, I hear. They got his whole “basketball profile” as they call it. Says where he plays, how tall he is, how much he weighs, all that jazz. They even keep track of how many points he scores and all that. Too much information if you ask me, but folks seem to like it.
It says his mama’s name is Katrina and his daddy’s name is Cormac. Just regular folks, I bet, like you and me. Probably proud as punch of their boy, playin’ ball in the big leagues. I hear Cormac Christie Jr. has already won some championships and awards. That’s something, ain’t it?
So there ya have it, a little somethin’ about Cormac Karl Max Christie Jr., the basketball player. He’s a young fella, playin’ for the Lakers, and he’s got a bright future ahead of him, or so they say. Just remember, he’s Max to most folks. Easier that way.
Now, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about basketball makes a body hungry. Hope that Max fella eats good too. Gotta keep his strength up if he’s gonna keep runnin’ around and throwin’ that ball.
