A RISING NBA STAR. I’M HERE AT THE BASKETBALL CLINIC WITH WAUSAU AND THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS AND A PLAYER, RYAN ROLLINS. RYAN, HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT TONIGHT? IT’S BEEN GREAT, MAN. JUST COMING OUT HERE RIDING AROUND WITH THEM, HAVING FUN, JUST GETTING SOME SHOTS. IT’S BEEN DOPE. IT’S COMMUNITY COLLABORATION BETWEEN WISCONSIN ADAPTIVE SPORTS ASSOCIATION AND THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS FOR A NICHE COMMUNITY. JOHNNY QUINTERO HAS PLAYED FOR 11 YEARS NOW, A MENTOR TO SOME OF THE PLAYERS. EVERY GAME COMPETITIVE LIKE THAT. THEY COLLABORATE TOGETHER. I THINK IT’S AWESOME IN A WAY. IT BRINGS MORE AWARENESS TO DISABLED SPORTS. I MEAN, IT BRINGS US INTO A LIGHT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE’VE NEVER REALLY HAD BEFORE, WHICH IS AMAZING. BUT MOST OF ALL, FUN. THE CHERRY ON TOP PLAYING WITH MILWAUKEE BUCKS GUARD RYAN ROLLINS, EXPERIENCE HOW THEY HOW THEY MOVE AROUND ON THE COURT. IT’S GREAT MAN. IT’S A DIFFERENT ABILITY FOR SURE. AND ITS APPRECIATED. AND IT’S DOPE MAN. JUST BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM DO THAT, THEY’RE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT. THEY’RE ABLE TO PLAY A SPORT THEY LOVE THAT THEY CAN’T NECESSARILY PLAY WITH THEIR SCHOOL TEAMMATES. ANOTHER CHANCE TO GIVE BACK TO A FIERCE GROUP OF ATHLETES THAT PRACTICE EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY. A LOT OF TIMES, PEOPLE DON’T ALWAYS GET A CHANCE TO SEE FIRSTHAND WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL AND HOW COMPETITIVE, HOW THRILLING, HOW PHYSICAL IT TRULY IS. SO HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THAT TO THE BUCKS TONIGHT IS SUPER EXCITING. IF I CAN GIVE BACK, I FEEL LIKE THAT’S THE BEST THING TO DO IN
