Kristopher London

I just kept battling and battling like, yo, this maybe like basketball isn't for me because it's like I feel like every time I was kind of on my way to.

to that pro level, that level that I wanted to be at, an injury would come around.

And I was like, damn, is this just like a sign, like this isn't for me?

And so I had to really just reflect.

And in my time in London, I had no friends there.

All my friends were back home.

And I actually didn't like London because –

When I was growing up, I was born in London.

That's why I'm named Chris London.

That's not my actual name.

But I just moved from London in sixth grade to Houston.

And so I kind of had like a little accent.

Everybody called me London.

And that's where I kind of got the name Chris London.

But basically...

And when I moved, it was so traumatic for me because it's like going to a whole new country and I had all these friends in America and I was just like, bro, I hate it here.

Like, you know, so when I went back in 2012, I was just like, I'm back here where I was just like despised, like playing ball too.

It was like, dude, I was in sixth grade, like hooping with,

20 year olds because that's how bad they were over there at the time right everything's yeah everything's a little more developed now like people can hoop there now but back then it was very hard to find competition especially where i lived i'd have to drive or take a bus or a train two hours up north just to find good companies yeah and then there was no gyms either so it's like if i really wanted to be in the gym like

I gotta really go, and my passion just wasn't, that's when I knew too, thinking back, I was like, my passion for basketball wasn't really there, because I'm not taking a bus or a two-hour train ride to go work out.
