The NBA D- League Grind

This season has brought many surprises for me and has helped me grow tremendously in my faith. There's been many things that I don't understand, but have to realize that I am not in control and God's will is being done in my life and he knows what's best for me. There have been many ups and downs throughout this season, but we have managed to overcome all the obstacles that have been in front of us. I was first traded to the Erie Bayhawks earlier in the season, which really shook me up mentally. Don't get me wrong I was really excited about the opportunity to continue to play the game that I love, but it was the first time I've ever been traded. It made me feel as if I had done something wrong, or that the Vipers didn't want me. But I soon realized that it's just part of the business that exists in this game that I love. I was excited about the new opportunity and felt like I was going to succeed tremendously with the Bayhawks, considering the amount of talent they had. All and all, I enjoyed my experience in Erie and met a bunch of people that will be lifelong friends. Erie didn't go the way that I had planned, but I will always be grateful to the organization for giving me the opportunity. I had a feeling that a deal was going to happen, but I had no idea if I was going to be in that deal. I got the call a few days ago that I would be going back to the team that drafted me and back to my home state. I had mixed emotions running through me at the time. I once again had the feeling as if I didn't do enough for the Erie Bayhawks and felt like they didn't want me. At the same time, I had a feeling of joy because I was going back to a situation where I felt really comfortable and felt like I excelled in the Vipers system. It's been great to come back home to a situation where I feel comfortable and to come back to a coaching staff/ organization that wants the best for you. I'm excited about what the rest of the season holds for me, and the Vipers. I just know that if I continue to have faith, and trust in God's plan, then everything will be completely taken care of.
