Adrian "Konfuzion" Mack born Adriance Mack known worlwide for his quick ball handling skills and making people fall, A father first to a beautiful baby girl name Tamaiyah Mack. Adrian grew up in a small town outside of Houston, Texas known as La Marque. Growing up always had a basketball in his hands and just had hopes and dreams of one day becoming a NBA player. From the time he was 5-years old the older neighbors knew they had a hungry kid who had the "eye of the tiger" and really wanted to do something with Basketball, waking up every morning working on dribbling drills and shooting hoping one day all his dreams would come a reality. Being always the short kid out on the court they would BLOCK his shot across the street but he always kept fighting and never gave up, HEART was all he had and pretty much thats all you need when you're trying to outbeat your opponents. Growing up with NBA Star Ronnie Price of the Portland Trailblazers they both fought for what they wanted in Basketball but "Konfuzion" took a different route once he reached High School and that route was Football. La Marque High School known for being a Powerhouse in Football in Class 4a "Konfuzion" took his talents to the Football Field hoping that Football would get him a full ride athletic scolorship. Gifted in Football "Konfuzion" was one of the top wide receivers in the State and known for having high praizes with the coaching staff, but things took a major turn when "Konfuzion" broke his ankle his Freshman year in High School keeping him sidelined from all sports activities and wanting to give up on Football forever. Konfuzion rehabed after surgery and found himself right back on the Field leaving Basketball in his past life. Time flies and Konfuzion is off heading to College to attend Texas Southern University to play Football but his heart wasn't in the game anymore, first day of practice during drills "Konfuzion" just gave up and it probably was one of the hardest things he ever had to do. First day of practice!!! Coaches yelling "Adrian what are you doing? you're not gonna be nothing now, your career is done. " "Konfuzion" had it in his that he was going back to playing Basketball where his heart was, working out hard everyday to prove everyone wrong and that he would make it playing professionally one day and the words being thrown his way made him fight harder to make it reality. "Konfuzion" proved everyone wrong and the coaches that talked bad about him were in absolute shock once they got a chance to watch him play. Faster than everyone, shoot better. "Konfuzion's" message is simple and its "NEVER GIVE UP" Never let anyone's negative feedback towards you bother you in no kinda way, build tough skin and use those words as something positive to make you work harder. From keeping a level head and working hard "Konfuzion" has been in worldwide TV commercial with superstars such as Lisa Leslie formerly of the WNBA Los Angeles Spark, Tim Brown All Pro Wide Reciever and Heisman Trophy Winner, Rudy Tomjonvich who Konfuzion dreamed about being coached by as a kid, coach to win 2 NBA Championships with the 1994-95 Houston Rockets, Elvin Hayes former Houston Rockets player and one of the 50 greatest players of All Time. Starting a professional career with the Harlem Starz (original show team) playing professionally in the American Basketball Association, URBL League, Team Hollywood, working with the NBA during the NBA Nation Tour along side NBA Legend Darryl Dawkins working with all the many greats by never giving up taking one chance in Wisconsin in 2007 and being featured with And1 in 2006. God has a plan for everyone and if you leave everything up to him and work hard towards your dreams they will eventually come true. Always remember Phillipians 4:13 "I Can Do All Things Through Christ Which Strenghtens Me" Konfuzion's vision is to always give back and never forget where he came from, always remembering he's a target to young people all over the world and wants to make sure they're a good person on the court and most importantly off the court, always being HUMBLE and carrying yourself male or female in a civilized manner. Never judging anyone by who they are or what they do cause those be the ones that actually make it, being respectful and obediant to parents, keeping positive people around you at all times, people that are willing to help you and not judge you on what you really want to achieve in your life. Never, Never, Never use drugs, just because the crowd or so called friends you hang with use drugs doesn't mean you have to do it to fit in, being cool is staying away from the negative activity. Using some of these methods and tools will not only take you far in the game of Basketball, but in the game of Life as well. Live On, Work Hard, No Days Off. Have faith and let nature take its course.
