Hi Jamaal, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started in the projects/low income housing. Big family, Moved around a lot as kids . Growing up was a struggle lived in a foster home a van got a lot from donations and project understanding programs. But I never let that change who I was I still was always happy and grateful for life . Nobody ever knew that my family was going through hard times cause I wouldn’t let affect how I carried myself and treated people. I love my mom and dad would change them for anything we just had bad luck and personal problems
I started skate boarding and playing baseball and basketball. As I got older I fell in love with basketball didn’t have the best luck with it but I’ve learned a lot from it . But I never gave up and tried out for 7 Gleague teams then went to a training camp . Played against a lot of great players i remember playing full court 1 on 1 against Brandon Knight and Michael Carter every money for a month straight did a lot of camps with sports academy I remember playing yeah kacademy and NBPA met alot great people/coaches . I love helping people and giving back and see people work hard and feeling good about their success i wsnt to see everyone win cause life ain’t easy also because I know how it feels to have nothing . I love helping the next generation as much as I can .
