What southern Florida is talking about this week:
Jamarion Styles, basketball star.
13 year old 8th grader Jamarion made all the news this spring with his buzzer beating three pointer in nearby Boca. It turns out though that he's been in the news before, due to the special prosthetics that were created to make it just a little easier for all the drumming he was already doing when he wasn't being a baller on the courts.
Of note, though, he doesn't use those when he excels at basketball ... because he doesn't need to ... because he doesn't see the fact that he lost his hands and part of his arms due to a bacterial infection when he was younger as any kind of obstacle ... because perspective is everything.
Congrats Jamarion on living your life with no limitations ...and for inspiring others!
