As for the different cities he could wind up in, the Toronto-born Barrett said, “New York is my favorite. Every summer I visited. I have family there. That’s where my mom grew up, so I’ve definitely been there a lot.’’
With his parents’ New York background — both attended St. John’s where his father played basketball and his mother ran track — Barrett said Brooklyn is his favorite part of the city. His godfather is Steve Nash, and he credits the legendary point guard for helping mold him into the player he has become.
“He told me to continue to work hard, the work ethic, that’s how he became a two-time MVP,’’ Barrett said of Nash.
