He didn't "have his dreams come true." He fought tooth and nail to MAKE them come true. Kids could learn a lot from that.

This dude is just straight up amazing. He is not just an incredible athlete, he's an incredible person. Totally grounded in his fame. Many "e celebs" could read a page from his book. He's inspiring. The Professor is the man!

This was inspiring. Imagine he quit because he got held back in high school. The moral of the story is to always work hard and Never give up . Hussle and motivate.

I admire the Professor a lot, however, in the NBA a lot of his dribbles would be called out. The refs would be blowing many whistles because to be able to dribble like that, you would have to lots of palms, carry overs, and in some cases travel. If refs dont' whistle at those, i'm sure there will be lots of tensions with coaches. Just my opinion.

it's kind of obvious why he didn't get into NBA: he is an entertainer not a professional team player. Like 50% of the moves are not really necessary. Another 20% is like showing of how to humiliate another player, and that thing has no space in NBA that has different kind of reputation. You don't point with your finger when you do a move on someone to just to point out how that player is below you, or smash a ball into your opponents face out of the same reason. All my KZread recommendations of Proffessor's videos are "1v1 on a trash-talker". It sound as if Professor in a way has an issue with lacking self-esteem where he has to put people below him. That type of playing ends up on KZread videos like "NBA's most disrespectful moments". As something that should not have be done from a player in the NBA league.As much as I like to watch Proffessor's play and freedom of what you can do on 1v1 and street basketball, it's not something that has space in the NBA where you'd look like you are either not taking things serious or just making NBA look like a joke.

Just came across your channel recently, love all your content and your story, you are a blessing to many, keep up the good work 😁👍

Grayson, much admiration to you and your success. I remember watching you on the And1 tapes and memorized by this small "white" kid and how amazing your ball handling skills were. I recently watched your prison tour episode and your faith in Christ gave me even more admiration for you! I felt there was something different about you in all your KZread videos; from the way you carried yourself, to your respect for other players and humility. It makes sense that your faith in God is the reason why you are who you are. Praise God for your heart and may He continue to bless your ministry as you a light of Christ to everyone you encounter!!!

Nice kid. Good for him. I’ve watched him grow up so it’s kind of cool to have witnessed his success from the beginning.

Love this story! Very inspiring young man. I gave my life to Jesus Christ in 2011 myself. I loved basketball and sports in general as a kid. I helped coach a couple years and loved it.

what an amazingly unique gift you have been blessed with Grayson, such a rare talent in this style of Basketball . admire your passion to overcome trials and to discover Gods purpose for you.

Man. To have a dad like that. You’re blessed. And he loves basketball! thats everything. A family behind what you are! Great stuff. Got you a professor to help ball handle skills. An you took advantage! Right on. Good deal. I’m sure you saw films of pistol Pete. Dr J. Jordan and all you needed 4 inspiration! Keep the faith always. It’s the reason we’re here.! Amen to that part of your story. It’s been a pleasure watching you grow from and 1 to who you’ve become. Thanks

I'm not a guy who watches basketball or plays, but (as a Christian man) it's so easy to see that God has gifted you with abilities. And you have not only taken the opportunity to develop and enjoy the gifts, but you turn around and give Glory to God and use them as a tool for blessing. That's the real mark of humility. God Bless you, brother!!

So inspirational! going all over the world, spreading God's word. Wow...what a story! Never saw any baller more entertaining. Talk about using your gifts to the fullest. God bless you.

Been a follower since his Spiderman days. His backstory makes me feel so happy for him that he's doing very well.

This was encouraging, I appreciate this guy being raw with his bumps on the road.

What I see is that you are a giver not a taker, your openness and willing to share is a wonderful thing. And oh you got some crazy skills there.

Professor need to play in the Big 3 league that would interesting and start up his own 1on 1 league or signature game that would be ground-breaking.

The Professor had a talent, he recognized that fact, and then, he developed his talent into something that he loved and that could support him.

Man I remember watching the Professor on those AND 1 Mix tapes. Its good to see that man make a living out of something he has a passion for. The struggle he has endured to from not being able to make the Varsity to today becoming a reconizable basketball player is amazing. Keep doing your thing Professor.

Inspirational story man! Love your talent, your drive, and good natured humility. Awesome channel!

This is what life is all about. Lending a helping hand. To everybody. We are all bleed red. Excellent humanitarian!!

Such an inspiration! God bless you brother! Thank you for your faith!

My friend! So glad I just watched your backstory. What an amazing journey. Much love to you and your family. God bless!

Neautiful story man, so happy for you- and your journey has just begun!

Great story, very real and inspiring. You found your talent which through dedication becomes your passion and your life. Way to go the “Professor”, an inspiring story indeed!

Very awesome testimony! I love God, I love basketball and I love your videos. Thank for living your purpose. Hope to watch you live this year. 🤓

This man is inspiring. Dedication and persistence breeds success 🙌

There are many important reasons why the NBA would be difficult for him. He is on the short side and not muscular, for a guard his jump shot is still not good enough for the NBA, he would have problems defending against typical NBA guards that posted low on him. There are many reasons...

I'm 76, white, played Hoop It Up in Richmond, Va. way back last century. Never felt more alive than being in that world. You inspire me and make me smile ear to ear. Love you, Bud.

Thank you. Your gift is glorifying Jesus. Love it brother. Even though I'm not a basket ball fan I appreciate the talent and gifting. Be blessed and continue your journey with the Lord. Love it.

I play to stay in shape. I am 52 now, but I am good for my age because I have been at it for a long time. I often play with students at the university were I teach. The students would yell out out, "Professor!" when I made a good play using my many tricky old man moves on jumpy young players. I first thought they were referring to the fact that I am a professor in real life, but later I figured out that they were referring to you. I get more joy out of this then I ever get out of being called professor in the classroom. You never know who you can reach.

Love this. I don’t play basketball. This story is for EVERYONE in the world. I pray that it will be. May our Father Bless you and Protect you and cause His face to shine on you and give you Peace.

I remember watching and 1 growing up on tv. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and then I see this kid doing crazy ball skills and it’s the professor. He inspired me to learn more about dribbling. So I did cuz I was already playing b-ball every day and time I had. I couldn’t wait for the next episode to air on tv. I copied every move he would do for hours and hours. Professor you are the greatest and ball handling. Thank you for making it public with your channel
