If I said that you can be anything you want to be when you grow up that would be a little cliché for this audience. Perhaps we would still say that to a group of kindergarten students to help build their confidence and to not limit themselves. The reality is that we all have limits to some capacity and that is perfectly fine. Everyone is going to be better at some things than others. Once in awhile we hear about a true underdog story that most people wouldn't think was possible.
If you heard about a 5'10" 140lb soaking wet hooper making a very good living playing basketball all over the world you would probably laugh and think it wasn't real. The fact of the matter is this anomaly exists.
They call him the Professor!
You might ask if he plays in the NBA or in a professional league in Europe. He doesn't and he didn't really even have a successful college basketball career. Everyone thought he was too small. What the Professor has is a great jump shot, quickness, and some of the coolest ball handling skills on the planet.
He was able to turn these skills into a career. He played on the AND1 Tour and started traveling around the world playing basketball in exhibition matches. He even teamed up with Allen Iverson on a tour over in China.
Now he has over 1.1 Million subscribers and pretty much everyone in the basketball world respects him. He has broke so many ankles out on the basketball court that there is a cankle epidemic. Here is one of his compilations of one of my favorite moves he does. He goes behind the back and through the defenders legs.
Judging by his following and the amount of views he gets on his videos he has made a very good profession out of basketball when almost everyone would have said he could have never made a living from it.
You might not be able to become anything you want.......but maybe you can get a lot closer than you think!
