Thank you, Saeed Al-Naji, on behalf of all the athletes and coaches you paved the way for as a Canadian basketball Maverick. Over 20 years ago, as a young man, he sacrificed many hours training and opening the AAU basketball trail for youth across Ontario. He fought to get teams into top U.S. AAU events before Canadians were welcome. He was also the mastermind behind the All Canada Classic-Rumble in T-Dot Canada's longest run national high school all-star game, first held at St. Michaels College in Toronto in 2001.

**New Blogs at www.JourneyOfAnElite1.com

When Tristan was on the floor everytime a lane opened up or a ball got lose and he was headed out on a break-a-way, the whole gym was standing ready lose their minds. His teammate on-hand will never forget during an open run in "Jungle" Lawrence Heights Community Center, in front of Jim Calhoun, Head Coach U. Connecticut, Tristan jumped over 6'7" Jemino Sobers and flushed a dunk with ease. The packed gym went silent with disbelief, then quiet chatter before erupting into a frenzy. Tristan Martin's legacy would forever be crystallized from that day forward.

10 years ago, inspired by my work in the community, Canada's #1 children's author Eric Walters collaborated with Johnnie Williams and former Toronto Raptor, Jerome "JYD" Williams to write a best selling children's novel called Home Team.
