## Caption

“Stand by the basket” They said. But, the gift and the curse personality trait of stubbornness, wouldn’t allow it. I wanted to be like theofficialai3 I loved hollywood_harp, idolized Hakeem Olajuwon, dreamed of shooting like reggiemillertnt LOVED realchriswebber .... so I aspired, worked, and didn’t just “stand by the basket.” First of “my kind” maybe... but one thing I do know for sure is being tall NOW, doesn’t limit versatility. Being “big” doesn’t mean just stand by the basket, don’t see the floor, don’t develop a jumper, don’t work on dribbling, don’t play multiple positions.... cuz I see where the game is going and I’m so proud! DREAM BIG! #FBF #HighschoolCP #32ForMyDaddy #NapervilleCentral #RockinAdidasSinceDay1 #IWasWireyStrong 😂😂😂😂🤗🤗🤗
