    Can you do the story of Damon Stringer? Mr Basketball of Ohio in 1995 from Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Freshman of the year in the Big Ten while attending Ohio state, a great sophomore year and then he was kicked out of Ohio State for kicking someone's windshield out. Next he attended Cleveland State with two of his high school teammates Jamal Harris and Theo Dixon and finished college as Cleveland States' leading scorer. Went overseas and played on a championship team with Yao Ming, came back to the states to try out for the Cleveland Cavaliers. While awaiting his tryout he was gambling with Jamal Harris and Cleveland Indian's former star pitcher Cici Sebathia. Cici sebathia won a large amount of money off of them. Jamal Harris and Damon Stringer then leave, grab their guns and go back to the hotel and rob cici sebathia. They were caught and sent to prison for 10 years. Once released Damon Stringer started a basketball camp and has a very successful AAU team.

    • @randomthoughtsofanaverageg9309
      @randomthoughtsofanaverageg9309 Před 6 lety

      ICE 1220 it's only a club team not national team. Champions cup is tournament for club teams who are champions of local leagues in their country. Those leagues should be recognized by fiba to be able to join the tournament. In case of Chooks-to-go, they were invited to compete because the japanese team decide to back-out.

    My left eye is completely blind only i can see is light. Im only 14 years and im still praying to god to protect me from being a blind person. I got blind in my left eye because when i was 11 years old i was inbounding the ball and was looking in the back when my friend pass me the ball and then i turn boom my eye got hit so hard. I diagnosed a cataract and retinal detachment when i was that young. And then when i was 12 it turn out so bad. The doctor said that my left eye will be permanent blind i was crying with my mother. But life still goes on Im 15 now and doctor said that my right eye is good so i have no problems with it. I wear glasses like Isaiah Austin did. And I always trust god for his kindness to guide me everyday. My future is to be an Architect. I study hard for my dream with my family support and friends. I play basketball until now. I still fighting in this condition.
