Well he thinks it’s his in game dunk for the first time. But really for me as his mom my proudest moment is when his AAU team helped an EYBL team and played with them an they were traveling 2 hours for practice on school nights and missing school his grades never dropped they were getting to the tournaments and riding the bench and all the other kids quit the team because they didn’t feel like they belonged on a bench and kept going took what play time they gave him it was humbling for him.
