- YOU'VE GOT NO HEART SON. STOP BEING SOFT!!
- CAN I EVEN COME BACK FROM THIS INJURY
- My pops was the one that introduced me to basketball, and I love him for it. We’d go to the park and get shots up together when I was young. There was no better feeling than playing basketball with my pops as a child. Once he saw my love for basketball, he made sure to keep me as close to it as possible.
- After switching AAU teams, I was introduced to Coach. Carl. He was the most boisterous man I’ve ever met. At the time, I resented him for how critical of my game he was. He would get in our faces, yell/swear from the sidelines, and not care how our parents felt about it. So I played for Carl until 10th grade. Without him, I indubitably wouldn’t have turned into the player I am now.
- I was about 6 or 7 games into freshman season, and then “it” happened. I suffered a stress fracture in my left foot, just like that my freshman season was over. I remember my morale and confidence being at an all-time low. I was confined to cheering from the bench. I questioned if I was going to be able to bounce back and have the same athletic ability.
- In sophomore season my team would underperform just about every game. We finished with a 1-19 record. We lacked comradery since our two senior captains didn’t lead in the way they should’ve. They were at odds with our coach, and their tension was apparent. This toxicity trickled down to every part of the team.
- After junior year, I didn’t feel like I was surrounded by guys who wanted to take this team as far as I did. I had previously made peace with that because my school wasn’t known for basketball. I couldn’t expect everyone on the team to have the same passion for basketball as me, but the pain still cut deep.
- Lastly, senior year. We finished with an 11-6 record, heading into playoffs, where we would win my school’s first district championship since the ’60s. I shined in that game leading us to overcome a team we had a 1-1 record against in the regular season.
