Though the odds were against him, he used basketball to get him through life. James became the first person in his entire family to graduate from college, by receiving his Bachelor of Arts from the College of Wooster. His goal was to provide a positive example for his younger siblings to follow. On the court, James received more awards than any other player in school history, along with being inducted into the school’s hall of fame. Today, he is focused on God, living a peaceful lifestyle, and being the best example for his kids, Jayda, Javon, and Jerin. James wrote this book to give hope to other people who grew up in situations similar to his. He wants his readers to believe in themselves and fight for their dreams.
