Desmond Bane 22-year-old Desmond Bane’s recent success in being drafted to the pro-basketball league can be attributed to his faith, according to Mr Bane himself.
“It serves as my backbone when things are going great and not going great,” he said. “You always have it to lean on. I wouldn’t be where I am without it,” Mr Bane said in a recent interview with Catholic News Service.
Mr Bane was recently picked up by the Memphis Grizzlies following success on the college basketball stage.
The principal of his former school, Seton Catholic High School, John Markward has described how Mr Bane lives his faith.
“I am truly amazed by Desmond’s faith and passion. When he is in town, you will always see him at church,” said Mr Markward.
“He is not afraid to post something about God on social media, and he praises God for his blessings. In today’s society, there are many people that would shy away from this for fear of being viewed differently.”
