Lendeborg surprised his mother, Yissel Raposo, with the keys to a new home in his first YouTube video, crediting her with saving his life.
Yaxel Lendeborg is off to a strong start in his NBA career, and he decided to share the payoff with the person who got him there. The Warriors rookie posted his first YouTube video showing the moment he surprised his mother, Yissel Raposo, with a brand-new house.
In the video, Lendeborg stands outside the home holding a gift box as family members gather around him. He admits he is nervous before the reveal, then tells his mom, "On behalf of everybody that came to show up, welcome home," inviting her to step inside and "test it out." She breaks down in tears at the sight of her new home.
Lendeborg has credited his mother for "saving my life," pointing to a heart-to-heart conversation the two had back in 2019 as a turning point. Now, with his NBA career taking off, he is paying that support back in the most literal way possible. The video marks a personal milestone off the court to go along with his hot start on it.
