This is your classic “started from the bottom now we here” story. Saints OLB Junior Galette grew up so poor he couldn’t even afford a basketball. Earlier today, he signed a 4 year extension with the Saints worth $41 million with $23 million guaranteed. To congratulate him, his teammates surprised him with a locker full of all basketballs.

For Galette, he can always look at these basketballs and remember how far he has come. For everybody else we can see that with hard work and dedication there’s not much you can’t accomplish.
