For anyone that didn't see it that's the full version.


- walking 5 miles everyday to reach the gym for morning practice, and then sleeping on the worn out mat with his brother during lunch because he didn't want to risk going all the way back home and not making it back in time for the afternoon practice
- refusing to eat more food to build up his body unless his entire family could get the same access to that amount of food


He came from so far, going out and getting buckets must feel like nothing in comparison. This MVP he's about to win is just the beginning.

Definitely watching this, I want to say that DraftExpress was also the first publication here that made a report on him, making that scouting report that had his first interview and some very blurry highlights, so it's fitting that they're doing this. Still remember watching that video for the first time back in 2013, knew he could be special but thought it'd be too late for a guy that raw to be this good. He was a 6'9 forward at the time so it was unheard of for a non-big to catch up with the best of the best with a background like that.

I underestimated his desire to be great, as did 14 other teams.
