Felix defied the 2k mt as a non-guaranteed training camp invitee

On Sunday, Felix defied the odds as a non-guaranteed training camp invitee and made the Washington Wizards’ final 17-man roster, completing an improbable two-year comeback from his fractured left patella. “I’m happy for him,” Coach Scott Brooks said. “He’s one of those players you want him to have success. He’s had some tough times early in his career and he fought 2k mt and he’s stayed positive and kept working. He’s earned this spot. He wasn’t given it. He earned it.” After most Wizards’ practices, the 27-year-old Felix is the last player on the 2k mt. Even the mundane routine of free-throw shooting sparks the megawatt smile on his face. It wasn’t always this way — Felix once hated basketball.

An Air Force family, the Felix clan bounced between 2k mt. While his two older brothers found stability in basketball — with mom, Beverly, coaching — Felix was 5-foot-5 with skills that lagged behind his peers. Instead, he loved skateboarding and would much rather jump over a box than practice his jump shooting. “He was short for a long time, I didn’t think he was going to grow,” said Beverly Felix, who from her sideline perch could hear the joking from the stands. “Parents even commented how short he was.” The adults were nice compared to the buy nba 2k18 mt at school. Besides being 2k mt, Felix looked different than most Arizona kids who liked skateboarding and said he was “bullied.” It also didn’t help that Felix was diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder and was stigmatized for attending special education classes.
