Being a public figure in the basketball world comes with so many blessings, but it can also feel extremely heavy.
This past year has been one of the hardest of my life. There were moments I didn’t even know if I wanted to come back to basketball.

Being a public figure in the basketball world comes with so many blessings, but it can also feel extremely heavy.
This past year has been one of the hardest of my life. There were moments I didn’t even know if I wanted to come back to basketball.
One of my biggest blessings this season has been my little friend Braylon. He reminded me why I do this. He reminded me that life is bigger than basketball, and so am I. Sometimes we forget the impact we have on others.
Braylon reminded me that above all else, being a good person and making someone smile is what truly matters. So thank you, Braylon, for reminding me of my true purpose when I needed it most.
