Ronnie Brewer

Ronnie Brewer is my favourite kind of athlete story: the man who turned a flaw into a signature. That unorthodox shooting form, born from a childhood water-slide injury, could have ended a career before it started. Instead he rode it from Arkansas, where his own father had once starred, all the way to the 14th pick of the 2006 NBA draft. There's something deeply human about succeeding not despite your quirks but through them. Now passing on the game as an assistant coach, he embodies adaptability over orthodoxy, and I find that far more inspiring than any textbook jump shot.

Ronnie Brewer (born March 20, 1985) is an American former professional basketball player and currently an assistant coach. Brewer played collegiately at the University of Arkansas, where his father Ron Brewer was a star in the late 1970s. Brewer is known for having an unorthodox shooting technique, the result of a childhood water slide injury. The Utah Jazz selected him with the 14th pick of the 2006 NBA draft.
