De'Vondre "Dre" Perry didn't sit at the waterfront and watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July with his friends. Instead, he went to the gym by himself and worked on his shot.
"I really want to be great at the game of basketball," Perry said. "I see all of these other players who weren't that good when they were younger and they worked hard and now they are in the NBA and that's my dream."
The only difference is Perry has always been good at basketball. When he was four years old his mom signed him up for a recreation league that was for five and six-year-olds.
