Excerpt:

Fourteen-year-old Anthony Muobike has a passion, and that passion is basketball.

The teen spends nearly every spare minute out front dribbling the ball on his north Edmonton driveway — sometimes upwards of four hours a day. But little did he know that all of his dribbling caught the attention of one of his neighbours.

“I thought that whenever I dribble it made a racket and people want to sleep or something like that,” Muobike said outside his home Tuesday night.

“I did not know that dribbling that ball, practising at least maybe two or four hours a day, would actually have an influence.”

Ian Ray, who has lived in the neighbourhood for about 13 years, said the young man’s basketball skills caught his eye. But he couldn’t help but notice one thing was missing.

Good luck, kid. Even if you don't reach your dream you will achieve something good.
