Ability Awareness Through My Lens Post 23

Monday January 13th, 2020 we rewind back to my incredible packed week. We had 9 stories that took us on an incredible journey. I am delivering 5 of 7 this week. Two stories are still in production unfortunately. I am not able to release information at this time.

Kicking off this weeks Vlog/Blog I will be sharing a story in studio at Access Sacramento. Our very own sports commentator Keith Jouganatos had the pleasure of interviewing #30 Forward Zeus McClurkin from the Harlem Globetrotters.

Zeus McClurkin is a testament to not giving up or letting obstacles get in the way of achieving one’s dreams. He was cut from every basketball team he tried out for from seventh grade through tenth grade, but he kept pushing and finally made his high school team his junior and senior seasons. He played his first couple of years of college ball at a Division II program, but the departure of the head coach left Zeus on the outside looking in. Undeterred, he enrolled at North Carolina A&T State University, and he made the basketball team as a walk-on, beating out 30 other hopefuls in the process. Zeus earned an undergraduate degree in business management at North Carolina A&T and then a master’s degree in marketing and communications from Franklin University, based in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Zeus is also one of the most decorated athletes on the Globetrotters roster holding three Guinness World Records titles. Zeus has set the mark for most basketball slam dunks in one minute, with 16 (2017), most bounced three-pointers in one minute, with five (2017), and most behind-the-back three-pointers, with three baskets made (2018). Zeus is known for his fun personality and crazy trick shots from places like Ohio State and the Mall of America, which have been featured on ESPN. Since joining the Globetrotters, he’s also transcended language barriers with appearances on popular Spanish-language television shows like Univision’s “Republica Deportiva,” and Telemundo’s “Un Nuevo Dia.” He has accomplished all of this while dealing with exercise-induced asthma, a narrowing of the airways in the lungs that is triggered by strenuous exercise. To this day, Zeus carries an inhaler with him.

I hope you enjoy this fun packed video. For an extended interview stay tuned for The SacTown Insider Rogue Edition and SacTown Underground for air dates. I look forward to bringing you the next adventure next week!
