He inspires me because he played multiple sports at the same time (e.g. baseball, football
and basketball)
Also, he never gave up because he says that whenever you fail, you get discouraged or get
afraid, but he overcame that fear
Another reason he inspires me is because he wanted to play basketball after he saw his
brother playing and thought that he was his idol.
