JD Davison’s mom was always there. Katrina Davison would go to work her day job, make it to her son’s basketball game, then slip out the door after the final buzzer to make it to her second job on the graveyard shift. She never failed to show up, so Davison did the same. Even though they came from Lowndes County, Ala., with a population of just over 10,000, they believed he could make it. So, she kept working and so did he. “My mom, she had a couple of jobs, but she came to every high school game every time. Every time the game ended, she had to go to work,” Davison told The Athletic. “I think she was so supportive that it pushed me to another level to help her pursue her dream and make it so one day, she didn’t need to be working.”
