Day #2 of Meet Our Cavaliers brings us Senior Mario Meza Campbell

#10 in our program is a 5’10 Senior that just seems to be enjoying life right now. For those who joined us yesterday when we started our series with Elijah Cox, I would like to say Welcome Aboard !

The plan is to share one player a Day for the next 9 Days after Mr.Cox in hopes of letting each young man have a day to themselves.

Let’s get started with the Four questions that Mario answered for us this week. Just incase you haven’t seen the post from yesterday, question #1 is what current or former player would be the best example of how they play the game ?

MARIO – Dennis Rodman, formerly of the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls

Mario was quick to point out that it is Rodmans mentality of defense and rebounding first, not the hair color or the body piercing.

QUESTION #2 – What person in life is the best example of Coach Barnes ?

MARIO – Following the lead of Elijah Cox

Mario also went with Samuel L Jackson as Coach Ken Carter from the 2005 movie about a Coach that was a positive influence on his ball club.

QUESTION #3 – Please share your thoughts on being a part of the Cavaliers Basketball πŸ€ program –

MARIO – Its been a really fun experience that has allowed me to meet new people and learn about Basketball.

QUESTION #4 – You are on a Podium excepting an Award, who do you want to say Thank You to?

MARIO – My fellow Seniors for making this season so much fun!

Msrio went on to share that his story had a little bit of Michael Jordan to it. Jordan was cut from the school team as a Freshman before becoming Air Jordan. Mario was cut βœ‚οΈ when he tried out for the 8th grade team by then Coach Anthony Barnes.

Ladies and Gentlemen – I present to you. #10 Mario Meza Campbell !!!
