“In the dust of defeat as well as the laurels of victory, there is a glory to be found if one has done his best.”
― Eric Liddell
As an individual begins to dream, they start a journey of self-discovery and during the process, little by little, they begin to achieve immensely. Brian Nebo, born on May 23, 1995, is an Afro-American professional basketball player who has worked extremely hard to perfect his game.

A man of ambition
Born in Los Angeles, California, Nebo has spent his childhood being inspired by his father, Charles, and brother, Charles Junior, who were basketball fanatics. Nebo’s ambition came from a place of passion and commitment as he would practice day and night with his friends to perfect his skills in basketball. Nebo’s father would make him watch documentaries and movies on basketball legends such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant to inspire Nebo and make him understand that to become successful; you have to put in blood, sweat, and tears. Studying the game closely by watching it on TV, Nebo learned how to apply techniques while playing in the court. While growing up, Nebo noticed that his family had chosen basketball as their passion.
