Former UC Bearcats star Sean Kilpatrick published a captivating story on theplayerstribune.com about growing up in Yonkers, New York - and the persistence it took for him to reach the NBA - then scored 15 points and grabbed six rebounds with three assists off the bench in the Brooklyn Nets' 112-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
Here's an excerpt from Kilpatrick's "A Yonkers Tale" pertaining to his time at UC:
Coach Cronin came to Fitzburg to watch me work out and told me he wanted to offer me. I made an official visit to Cincinnati and it was one of the best experiences of my life.
