Renowned Canadian basketball player Carl English talks to Matt about how his obsession with the sport helped him deal with the loss of his parents when he was just 5 years old. He also talks about how building his own basketball net on the side of the road in his small hometown eventually brought him face to face with legends such as Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, and Kobe Bryant and ultimately to the brink of the NBA.
