That being said, Coach Graham, can you give us a little bit of just background in your life, where basketball started for you, where you grew up from, and what got you to this present moment?

Yeah.

So I'm born and raised from Elyria, Ohio, probably like 20, 25 minutes away from Cleveland, Ohio.

And I started playing basketball at a young age, about five years old.

My mom, you know, threw me into the game young and I fell in love with it.

And, you know, just growing up, I always, you know, as a kid was like, man, I want to get to the NBA, want to get to the NBA.

And then, you know, I had good high school and college careers and stuff, but I always was like, man, I want to do something to help out in basketball.

I love that I love uh from uh it's rare that we find people at a young age see the change and that they want to help others and train so I absolutely love that um share your experience of like why CTA you know why do you why do you want to work with CTA what brought you there and kind of that relationship
