    In the dark of the pandemic, top NBA draft prospect Scoot Henderson found light and his hoop game in his family-owned gym. The G League Ignite star was blessed that his parents owned and operated a basketball gym that gave him access 24 hours a day to NBA players and special moments with his family.
