Biography
Playing Basketball
By 1997, Terry was a student at a junior high school[1] in California[2] Terry was a fan of Tom Berenson, who had been a "basketball legend" at their middle school. Later on in the school year, Terry played basketball during gym class with his friends Juan and Jake, the latter of whom was Tom's younger brother. Juan and Terry attempted to stop Jake from taking a shot, but as Jake shot the ball and missed the net, he fell onto Terry and Juan. Laughing, Terry pulled Jake back up and joked that he was not surprised that Jake had not made the team. Jake replied that he was still able to beat Juan, who was on the team, prompting Juan to retort that he had not used his full skills. Juan then uttered that Jake, who had fallen on him, had "crushed his legs" and referred to Jake as an ox due to his physical stature, adding that Jake should have been playing football instead of basketball. As Terry mused that Jake should have inherited Tom's skills and that Tom had a great jump shot. Juan affirmed this, and Terry listed as Juan spoke of Tom's gifted skills and that Tom could have had a future playing college basketball at a good school had he not resigned from high school basketball.[1]
