Bradenton, Florida – When Quadir Copeland and his older brother, Daiquan, walked to school each morning through their Southwest Philadelphia neighborhood, a basketball served as a constant companion.
“He’d dribble the ball, I’d dribble the ball, I passed to him, he’d dribble it,” Copeland said. “It wasn’t even, ‘Oh, this is for us to work on our handle.’ We just loved having the ball in our hands. We’d just pick the ball up, walk outside. It was no thing. It just came natural.”
