Even Ray Charles and Andrew Friedman Can See This

Notice the resemblance? I think they look alike…

Once upon a time…. there was a young boy who played basketball and baseball in high school, but seemed to be destined to play in the NBA as he was a standout at basketball, winning two state championships in a row. He was raised by his mother and grandmother who took good care of him and provided him everything that a kid could need.

He was no slouch at baseball either, and he was drafted in 2003 in the 6th round of the major league draft. After hitting just 1 home run in in inaugural minor league season , he hit 18 HR his second season and followed that up with 27 in his third and became an All-Star and TOP Prospect.
