I remember meeting Michael for the first time, i was in 8th grade and i played against his sons team in the Deerfield Mulitplex where Chicago Bulls trained and as i was walking away i heard my name being shouted across the court, as i turned i saw it was Michael Jordan and his first words were ” You are a very good point guard but you need to shoot the ball more” he shook my hand and then walked off, ever since that day it has inspired and motivated me to become the best player i could possibly be. Whilst at Loyola Academy DJ Glavan thrived and blossomed into being a great point guard, In his senior year he helped the team to a record 28 – 2 season averaging 16 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds a game.
