(His sister) Casey can remember what Larry went through before he was diagnosed. To see him overcome that and play in the NBA sends a message Casey believes is worth passing along. “When Larry was diagnosed, I was actually away at college,” Casey said. “I was in my freshman year, and I just remember every time that I came home … that kid was getting less and less — he was less and less present. It was very interesting watching him go through that process. And while it was painful at times, it’s definitely worth it now to see him really achieve his dreams and goals. He is just proof that this condition or any chronic illness can’t stop you from reaching whatever your highest aspirations are and that stands for both personally and athletically. There’s nothing that you can’t accomplish.”
