As I watched I realized what a true gem he was! I approached him and asked him to play, to which he replied he would, and that he would continue to work on his game. When he showed up a year later, he had gained 40ish pounds of muscle. I’m very proud to have him back. On and off the court, Kane is going to continue to do big things because of the great person he is!!! STORM!!!!
