No. Well Gregg Doyel is about to change that for ya. We all know the amazing story of Kentucky Kevin Massey. Massey had 24 hours to live before Jonh Calipari was brought to his hospital room five years ago. Now Massey is student-manager for the Cats and Doyel broke down the path Massey has followed to get to where he is today.
"Five years later, the kid with 24 hours to live still has the basketball John Calipari brought to his Indianapolis hospital room. For five years, the kid has done what doctors said he could not, graduating from Franklin Central High School for one — living, for another — and he believes this is a reason: Because Calipari told him he could."
Get the enitre story here. It's a must read. Now excuse me while I go out and buy more tissues.   @Sealey_KSR
