I love basketball because it’s where I feel most like myself. I love the challenge, the fast pace, and being part of a team that pushes each other to improve. Hitting a tough shot or making a great pass—there’s no better feeling than me being proud of my teammates and there’s no better feeling than my teammates being proud of me 🏀
My mom inspires me on and off the basketball court. She always pushes me to work hard, stay focused, and never give up—no matter what. She shows me what it means to be strong, kind, and determined. I wouldn’t be the player or the person I am without her.”
One of the proudest moments in my son’s basketball journey was watching him earn MVP—not just for his talent, but for his leadership and heart on the court. But I’m just as proud when I see him care deeply after a tough loss. His passion, humility, and drive to grow in both victory and defeat show the kind of person he’s becoming—and that means more than any trophy.
