never expected to become a live-in physical education teacher for his three children -- especially for the oldest, Ean, his 5-year-old son. But when the COVID-19 hiatus and accompanying self-quarantining hit the United States, the Horfords found themselves together in an apartment in the Philadelphia area without a yard.
The family couch breaks apart, and Horford sometimes uses the pieces as obstacles to run around. Some courses include stations for 20- or 30-piece puzzles. Others are almost household versions of the NBA's Skills Challenge at All-Star Weekend. Ean will have to score a soccer goal before advancing, pick up toys stationed around the apartment and drop them into buckets elsewhere, or even execute a few pushups.
As the Horfords gathered to watch a movie during the first week of self-quarantine, Ean suddenly blurted out,"'The reason we can't go anywhere is because of the coronavirus,''' Horford said."I was surprised. When you think they aren't listening, they are. So we talked about it. I didn't want to freak him out or make him anxious."
The Redicks have introduced a"word of the week" -- the latest one is"flexibility" -- that they discuss throughout the week. Redick is helping Knox and Kai write and illustrate short books about two tiger cubs, named Elijah and Ethan, that are based on Knox and Kai and have various adventures. The one they are working on now has the tigers in New Orleans, where Redick plays for the Pelicans.
