He wanted you to have...

...these things right away.

What happened?

William had cancer.

They found it a couple years ago.

Jamal, this is crazy.

Oh, my God.

Wow!

-Look at all these books.

-Don't touch anything.

DearJamal:

Someone l once knew wrote that

we walk away from our dreams...

...afraid that we may fail,

or worse yet, afraid we may succeed.

While l knew so early

thatyou would realize your dreams...

...l neverimagined

l would once again realize my own.

Seasons change, young man.

And while l waited

until the winter ofmy life...

...to see the things l've seen

this pastyear...

...there is no doubt

l would have waited too long...

...had it not been foryou.

You gonna be here a while, man?

Just can't watch the eyes this time.

You'll be okay, man. Come on.

Come on, man.

Get up.

You're missing lay-ups now?

What happened to you, boy?

Where did the first step go, man?
