Isaiah Austin’s dream of being an NBA player sadly was taken away, but during the 2014 NBA Draft, Austin finally had his moment… Even if it wasn’t how it was supposed to go.
Isaiah Austin was given a standing ovation by the crowd at the Barclays Center.
After this great moment, while being interviewed by ESPN’s Jay Williams, Austin said “it’s one of the biggest blessings of my life,” also adding that “When one door closes, God opens another.”
As for his plans for the future, Austin has been offered a job within the NBA and on the coaching staff of the Baylor University, where he attended. He says that he also plans on sharing his story with as many people as he can.
