By now, I’m sure you’re familiar with the Andre Ingram story. He’s a 32-year old gray-haired rookie out of American college who played 10 years in the G-League. He finally got called up by the Los Angeles Lakers before the game against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. Ingram did not only play in his first NBA game on Tuesday, but he excelled in it with 19 points in a loss. The game was nationally televised, and everyone got to know his story. It’s right out of a Disney movie, and it’s something that keeps you coming back for more.

As @TurnerSportsEJ would say, this story is "good for the soul."

Ingram is a physics major, and he still tutors math from time to time to help kids get ahead in middle/high school. He’s a true inspiration to those who never give up on their dreams. This is the type of shit that keeps me going as a SnoTap writer. Things like this want to me to continue to find ways to grow something out of nothing. Ingram could have easily given up and started his life somewhere else with still pro playing experience. But instead, he kept grinding until he reached the top yesterday. Absolutely incredible.
