In fourth grade, he made his first attempt at a free throw and failed. For his birthday, he asked for a basketball. He realized he didn't have a basket when he shot outside. Out in the garage was an old rusty 5-gallon bucket-back then, they were made of metal, short and wide. Jack quickly cut out the bottom with a chisel and hammer, creating a basket, and the rest is history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasketball was in his bones and his dreams.
