Ikareem "Reem" Lamar Jr. shares his powerful journey from Orlando's tough streets to college basketball success, revealing how faith transformed his life when everything seemed stacked against him.
• Started playing basketball in middle school without early training or support systems
• Grew up in an environment where "right is wrong and wrong is right" with few positive role models
• Met Mr. Jones who offered him a full scholarship to a private Christian school
• Lived independently at age 15-16 while working at Walmart and attending school
• Nearly quit basketball and college multiple times due to overwhelming challenges
• Suffered a significant injury that almost ended his college basketball career
• Found his true playing style in final season, putting up 32 points and 16 rebounds
• Learned that actions inspire teammates more effectively than words
• Discovered that faith provides strength through adversity, not an escape from it
Find God and start working toward whatever vision He's put in your head. Don't give up because God will lead the way.
