Bubba’s biggest inspiration is his loved ones. They always help him keep his head up during a game. His mother is his biggest inspiration for basketball because she always encouraged him to give it his all.

“My mom inspires me because she built me up for this sport and pushed me to work harder,” Bubba said.
