Overview

I was dedicated to the game and devoted much of it, practicing tirelessly to perfect my skills. Despite my love for basketball, rcouldn't shake off the allure of the street life. Growing up in a community where drug dealing, gang violence, and crime were the norm, I found myself drawn to the dangers of the streets. I found solace in the acceptance I received from the guys in the hood who idolized me for my basketball skills but also encouraged me to indulge in the street life.

One night, I was caught in the act and arrested. I was only eighteen years old at the time and had no idea how the events of that night would change my life forever. I was sentenced to five years in prison. It was the lowest point of my life; wasted my talents in the hood and ended up in jail for a crime I deeply regretted. While I was in prison, I was consumed with regret for the choices I made that landed me behind bars.
