My dad always told me
there's a difference between talent
and God gifted talent.
I never understood what that meant.
I'm just playing and watching something
and then trying to replicate that a million times.
But then I look around the world of basketball
and see everything I've done
see that I'm still working on my craft.
And I'm not gonna waste this talent
so I might as well put on a show on while I'm here.
I had a fear that I wasn't gonna be good enough
in this league, that I wasn't going to actually live out this dream.
Because I have a learning disability
I think differently already
so I'm gonna use it to my strength.
I see patterns differently, concepts.
it takes me a second to understand.
Which is sometimes frustrating
but sometimes it's great
because I'm able to see things that they don't see.
Basketball is rhythm to me.
It's literally dance steps.
It's my cadence and understanding my feet,
She is a visual learner.
Like I study basketball a lot.
So if I see something that'll help her
I just send it to her right away.
And then she's able to like, literally do it the next day.
I'm counting how many steps he takes
and then in my head seeing myself take those same steps.
It’s not a one, two, three, four.
It's a one, two, pause, one, two.
And that's kind of just how I've been able to think.
Aye bro aye...
You both play basketball today?
Yeah, I played basketball at school.
At school?
I know, you're so strong
Aye, who is this?
You're Daddy! I know, I know. Who's that one?
Yeah, that's me!
They want to say Happy Birthday to the old man.
Hi guys!
Even though she's quiet and she's humble
she can stand up now.
She can also be a little, what do I wanna say?
A little vocal. In a nice way though.
In a nice way.
Just sometimes when you are humble and quiet and kind
people never expect you to change.
[Director] Do you agree with that? What she's saying about you?
Yeah. I'm a quiet assassin.
You never want to be the
loudest in the room.
It all goes back to just our principles of
love and service and faith and being a real family.
Like this is who we are.
Being back in Chicago area
being back in Lincolnwood, that’s home.
My tribe is what keeps me going
and what keeps me focused on the task at hand.
I'm able to train the way I want to train
because of the people around me.
I’m able to be myself all the time because of the people around me.
My brother, it was nice seeing him play.
I only beat him once in my life
but he's the reason I fell in love with the game of basketball.
I was a professional athlete
I played internationally.
And just being in the athlete space now
and advising other athletes
that's really where I come and help.
To say, okay, you're present now
and doing what you need to do on the court
but it's the 10 to 20 years after
where we can really make an impact for you and your legacy.
[Director] Are you proud of her?
Yeah, I’m proud of her.
I’m proud of her, but I think
don’t get comfortable.
Stay humble, work hard.
What else could we accomplish that we haven't done already?
The next evolution is to be unstoppable.
I think that I'm at a level mentally
that I've never been at before.
The greatest thing about being a human
is the ability to adapt and grow.
I think the moment you think that you figured it out
that's when you just plateau.
And I don't want to ever plateau as a human,
as a basketball player.
