Damen Bell-Holter wasn't supposed to get the opportunity to play in the NBA.
 |
| Into the game! |
Bell-Holter grew up in Hydaburg, Alaska, a small village with a
population of about 350 people. Statistically, he should still be living
there. Instead, the 6-foot-9, 245-pound power forward out of Oral
Roberts University will now be playing with the
Boston Celtics in training camp and preseason.

Hydaburg, Alaska where Damen grew up

Pressure created by David Macjones
Damen's FB Post: Played in my first NBA
game tonight. I can't even explain how it felt.. I was the first Native
American to play in an NBA game and it's extremely humbling to know how
many of you are behind me right now. To even say that I'm with an NBA
team right now is so unreal. I've been doubted so long and I just want
kids to realize that no matter what, NEVER give up your dream. If a kid
from a town of 350 in Alaska can chase his dreams.. Why can't you? That
goes to everyone. I love all of my supporters and I'm only gonna keep
working.
