Every day for the next 4 years he spent most of his time playing basket and practicing. when he was 14 he was short but his game was as good as the taller people but at age 16 he started to grow taller and taller when he would play basketball with people his size he was way better than them. And 1 day he dream would finally would come true he got drafted in to the NBA and that change his life for ever.
