    Really inspirational. Guy obviously worked incredibly hard and earned a D1 schollie for his last year of school. He also holds the current world record for most half court shots made in a minute, with 8. Not everyone has the athleticism of a Mugsy Bogues, Earl Boykins, Nate Robinson, Shawnta Rogers and, as of late, Aquille Carr. Still, shows that if you work hard and have a positive attitude, great things can happen.

     

     

     

    Also, on a separate note, the UW Green Bay logo is awesome:

     These are the stories in life that need to be common knowledge. That hard work and perserverance against seamingly impossible odds pays off. I cant tell you how much I love this story. Good luck to this brother, he’s got the heart of a champion.

     This makes me want to work hard and try out for my college’s basketball team next year. I go to a D-3 school, so it wouldn’t be as big of an achievement as his, but it would still be the biggest achievement of my life.
