00:00I have an inquired brain injury, so when I was 2 years old I was ran over by a car, and
00:13I was put in hospital, broke my C213 invertebrate, broke my whole back.
00:19Growing up I couldn't really find anything I enjoyed, I was a pretty troubled kid, and
00:25I just found basketball, and I just kind of fell in love with it, I just loved it, I just
00:31loved it.
00:32It's just something I do every day now really, it provides a bit of calmness, and like that
00:38when you're going through hard times, you just come to the court, find a ball, go anywhere,
00:42you can just change everything.
