Now this is what I call an "OLD School Baller" lol
His name is Ken Mink and because he decided to join the Air Force 53 years ago, he missed out on his second year of juco basketball. It's been a decision in his life that he has always regretted. Ken Mink is 73 years old and he plays basketball for Roane State which is a community college in (Harriman, TN)
I know this story has inspired me and I think it will inspire everyone in their own little way as well. I respect the fact that despite his age Ken still followed his dream in finishing playing college basketball. I don't know about ya'll, but I wish when I'm his age I can be in the same shape as he's in. lol
On another note do you think he's just doing it for publicity? overall i respect him for not giving up because i know that's what a lot of people do, but i wish him luck in staying healthy.
This story aired on WATE-TV6 (Knoxville, TN) on October 29, 2008.
