Born in Houston, Texas, this shooting guard was homeless at one point in life. But he still managed to become one of the most inspirational sports stories in the NBA. With his father out of his life when he was just an infant, he was forced to go bouncing from one friend’s couch to another after his mother kicked him out of the house. Already going through struggles in life that most people never have to face, this star overcame the obstacles in his life path to eventually become successful. He took his game to the next level at Marquette University before he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the 2011 NBA draft as the 30th overall pick. In the upcoming years, this player showed versatile skills and remained one of the franchises most important players through the years, up until 2017 when he was traded to Minnesota Timberwolves. As he is one of today’s most recognizable faces in the sport with an acclaimed NBA career, we cannot do anything but admire this player’s lifetime accomplishments. He almost tripled his rookie season points per game during the 2012-2013 NBA season. With more game minutes on his back over the seasons, it is no wonder he was the first Chicago Bull ever to be named the 2014–2015 NBA Most Improved Player. He was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018, and after just a season with them, signed for the Miami Heat. He has remained with them since. Little do people know that this shooting guard from Texas, in his private life, likes to wear cowboy boots and listen to some good old country music.
