adversity shapes you as a person and i think for me the back injuries were that basketball came so easy to me like i ended up being the number one player in the world for my age when i committed to mizzou like the whole attendance of the college went up like a lot just from me committing so i was getting ready to go in there and put on a show and it was going to be lit that's when my first back injury happened and i think going from here to then just like crashing and everybody saying all types of things about me and because of that it shaped me into the person i've been now i look back at those back injuries and i'm able to have some appreciation for them they still suck like i'm still sad that that happened to me but i can look at them with some appreciation
