Dylan Harper, son of former NBA player Ron Harper, was drafted second overall by the San Antonio Spurs. However, his mother, Maria Pizarro, a former college player and Dylan's childhood coach, stole the spotlight. Social media erupted with praise for Pizarro's appearance and supportive role in Dylan's career. Pizarro's strict, supportive upbringing and coaching were credited by both Dylan and media outlets as key to his success.
