It's common for adults to celebrate big moments in life with an alcoholic beverage.
But what if you just turned 21 years old and you don't drink alcohol?
That's exactly what happened to Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox in February when he signed the paperwork to hire family friend Chris Gaston as his new agent.

“We took a whiskey shot, and it was disgusting,” Fox recalled to one37pm.com's Corban Gable.
The bad whiskey experience happened during NBA All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Gaston admitted that he was nervous about walking through a crowded hotel with the contract. The shot of whiskey might have been to steel their nerves as much as it was to celebrate their pact.
Fox is a rising star and is set for a big payday. The Kings hold a team option worth $8.099 million for the 2020-21 season.

But you can expect Fox, Gaston and the Kings to start talking about a long-term extension sooner rather than later.
Just don't expect them to celebrate by downing shots of whiskey.
