“So what did I do? I went to Walmart, bought an outdoor hoop, set it up in the parking lot of my apartment in Chattanooga. And stayed in Chattanooga for two months .”

He needed to earn money through different jobs. One was at a cemetery, working at 7:00 a.m. cleaning the site and mowing the lawn, as his schedule was flexible and allowed him to work basketball.
