Because the foster mother thinks it's good for him. Gradually, he fell in love with this sport. And many coaches along the way have also deeply influenced his love for this sport. All these laid the foundation for his success.

Brad regarded all his teachers as heroes when he was a child. "Because they always let me do better. I like children, and I don't like to see young people lose their way and go astray. I like to teach children to play ball and tell them not to give up, to be optimistic and positive, and to concentrate. If you persist, you are destined to achieve great success in life.

Brad 13 years old dunked successfully for the first time. His talent for jumping is also rare. Although Brad is good at dunking, you are not surprised to see him set a new record of 4 points for Harlem basketball team.

Although Brad has never been exposed to football, his athletic talent attracted the NFL's New York Jets. In 2008, the team invited him to join the team's new player camp.

Because he left at 4 o'clock in the morning, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening when he came back from work. He paid all this just to prevent my brother and I from working as hard as him in the future. Now, I am also a father. The best thing in the world is to walk into the house and see my two daughters. They don't care what I have in their eyes, nothing, I am just their father. " This is what he said.

"On the day my first daughter was born, my father told me,' Work hard every day, feed your children, feed them well and give them the best things in life.
