Bennett, who was a teenager mother and was kicked out of her home as a result, endured racism as a white mom to biracial sons. That included waking up one morning to a burning cross in her yard. She was once chased by a truck. But Bennett shepherded her sons to future success.
Cody and Caleb Martin both played their rookie seasons in the NBA last year, with Cody doing so as a second-round draft pick and Caleb as an undrafted free agent. Both will make $1,517,981 this season, with Caleb’s deal becoming guaranteed over the weekend. “Used to be evicted. Now I bought my momma a car. I’m so thankful,” Caleb Martin wrote on his Instagram page last week.

After the brothers starred at Nevada from 2017-19, Cody was drafted by the home-state Charlotte Hornets in the second round of the NBA draft. Caleb, the younger brother by one minute, went undrafted and got free-agent offers from a couple of NBA teams, including Charlotte, which is located one hour south of where they grew up in Mocksville, N.C. You might think Caleb jumped at the opportunity to sign with Charlotte so he could try and break into the NBA alongside his brother. But that wasn’t the case.
