People often say "Ball is Life," but for Dawan Robinson, such a statement is more than a figure of expression: Basketball literally saved his life. In episode 47 Robinson sat down with Bobby and Sam to talk about his journey. Born and raised in inner city Philadelphia, Robinson saw things no kid should growing up, including witnessing his cousin being shot to death right in front of him as a high schooler. Robinson says it was his parents, and the game of basketball, that saved him from the same fate. Ball took Robinson to a prep school in rural Maine, then on to the University of Rhode Island, around the world as a pro, and even a cup of coffee in the NBA. Now he's giving back as a coach and trainer. Listen to his story, it is as powerful as it gets.
