Patrick McCaffery's younger brother, Jack is enjoying a stellar high school basketball career at Iowa City West. On Jan. 8, the talented power forward took to Instagram to share some snaps from Iowa City West's game against Assumption High on Jan. 4, which the Trojans won 71-44.
Amidst pictures of him making shots, Jack McCaffery also added a picture of Tai Lung, the villain in the first 'Kung Fu Panda' movie, and an inspirational quote from late designer Virgil Abloh, who founded luxury fashion brand Off-White.
Abloh's quote, which he said in 2017, read, "The world produces waves. Surf or drown. You decide."
Within minutes of Jack uploading the post, Patrick McCaffery flocked to the comments section to give his take on his younger brother quoting the iconic fashion designer and his snaps from Iowa City West's game against Assumption High.
"Might swerve in that corner woahhh," wrote Patrick McCaffery.
