SPECIAL REPORT:
With all the well deserved hype surrounding 'J-Lin' (Jeremy Lin, point guard - New York Knicks), good news about 'ballers' on big stages always gets plenty of press.
But just because million dollar players get the added benefit of media attention, it doesn't mean big game and, more importantly, big heart b-ballers don't exists elsewhere - on smaller and less well known courts.
Surfing the net we discovered a young cat from Tallahassee, Florida with major game, heart and swagg, despite his obvious "so-called" physical limitation. Who is he?
The Name: Landus Anderson
'The One Arm Assassin'
The Game: Basketball (B-Ball)
Anderson - 'The One Arm Assassin'
Don't get it twisted, although 'LA' has nerve damage in his right arm, just imagine what he'd do with both arms fully automic; he gets his - fuh sho - against the toughest defenders'. Rebounds, too? Yeah boy!
Aight, hold up, Landus does have his doubters -- those who fear he may not be able to handle playing with and against college players, but his coach is highly confident that if given an honest opportunity - his specially inspired player will hold his own.

Landus Anderson - Heart, Leader, Baller!
Averaged: 21.5 ppg and 8 assists (last summer to lead his team to final four)
2.5 blocked shots
2.9 steals
The game is 10% hustle, 90% mental toughness -- believe that!
So check it, if you agree that this kid deserves an honest look and opportunity to shine at the next level, as well as pursue his educational goals, let us and the world know about it. Let's support this youngster, and others like him, as much as we support million dollar 'ballers' like Jeremy Lin. One love!
Veteran AAU Coach, Curtis Miller said this about Landus:
"He's a talent. He can shoot outside, he can take it inside, he can overpower you skill wise, has basketball IQ. The sky is the limit."
"If dude got skills and is given the opportunity he deserves for his hard work and dedication to the game -- let him shine and don't hate. That's keepin' it realer-than-real...that's hip-hop!" ~T.F. Hodge
