On this episode, we have a story that you need to hear. It’s the story of tremendous talent, incredible obstacles, tragedy, triumph and human spirit. It’s the story of Jason Mckinney aka “Jmack”, a basketball prodigy who emerged on the scene in LA, rose to fast stardom, but setbacks in the way of injury, guidance, even a shooting, left him with a journey unfulfilled. Still, Jmack persevered and stayed true to the game. He even found a friend with another teenage star, a young Kobe Bryant, that would tie the two for years to come.
Gil can be counted among those enthralled by the young phenom. Fast forward some 20+ years later and Gil re-connected with Jmack on the youth circuit. Basketball is their common bond, and Jmack’s “Real Is Rare” approach has enabled him to fulfill his basketball story, showing respect to those that were a part of the path along the way. And his next chapter is just getting started...
