When J.P. Moorman II was 10 years old, his dad sat him down and told him it was time for him to make his own decisions. After coaching him in a league since he was three years old, his dad thought it was time for Moorman to decide if he wanted to play basketball for himself.
"He told me if I wanted to be good at basketball it was up to me," Moorman said. "He told me he would help me and he would be happy to go to the gym with me, whatever I wanted. But he wouldn't make me go to the gym anymore.
