Frank Kaminsky is someone who is where I want to be now. Although I probably won’t play at the professional level, I would like to play college level some day. Frank came from a small town in Lisle, Illinois and now playing in the NBA. He got where he is now because he pushed himself everyday when he was in the gym. Frank also played AAU but started at the age of fifteen. When Frank comes home for the summer, he works out four days a week in the little gym that he grew up playing in.
