I love basketball. But my career pretty much ended in 9th grade when I was 5\’2\” tall and had glasses–and though a pretty good shooter, I got cut from my junior high basketball team.
Finally I got my growth spurt, and was about 5\’10\” as a senior where I tried out for my high school team. I made first and second cuts, but was the final person cut from the team and I\’ve never fully recovered.
