If any of my friends were reading this they would be stunned to think that my destiny was to play basketball. In that case their assumption is valid cause I’m short. Coming from a family with five males over six feet tall in the last generation. Alas my genetic code has altered in a way where I will not be as towering as my ancestors. Nevertheless that would…
