#1 In 2015, a Black man named Lee Anderson, who was an assistant coach at Clemson University, approached me and told me that I needed to get to know Zion Williamson, his stepson, who was a high school sophomore. He said that Zion was a superstar in the making.

#2 I helped Lee navigate the difficult waters of being a father and having no money. I took him to get food at a nearby BP Fast Fuel, and gave him $100 so he could put groceries on his family’s table.

#3 I got to know Zion and his family well, and I liked them. They were very polite and reserved, but Zion had an infectious smile. He was attracting a lot of interest, and it seemed like he would be playing big-time college basketball regardless.

#4 I wanted to introduce Zion to top AAU coach Ryan Faulkner and trainer Desmond Dez Eastman, who ran a top program in Georgia called Game Elite. They were genuine, and their clients were high-level players.
