There’s so much more to him though!
Bitten by the basketball bug at 12 years old, Dribbles clung to the orange round ball because it kept him out of trouble. He continued to work at it and Like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the playground was where he spent most of his days; minus moving moving with his auntie and uncle. “I remember walking home from school one day and the whole court was full of people playing hoops outside with the music blasting,” Dribble 2 Much told The Source by phone.
“I saw the attention that it was getting and I wanted to go outside and hoop.”
Fast forward to life after college, Dribbles played pro hoops in Mexico but suffered a shin injury that forced him to sit on the injured reserve before being sent back home to the states. While most would soak up the opportunity for a little R&R, he didn’t live life in the comfort zone. ”I knew what I had to do to build myself good handles,” he said.
Limited in leg motion, he worked solely on improving his dribble skills while on the healing mend. He even recorded his workouts on video that he then posted to the gram. “When I started to share the knowledge, that’s when I started blowing up,” he said.
