i've posted before that mitch's performance in the summer league at kezar before freshman year was one of the best i have ever seen - so confident  & athletic, sinking basket after basket in traffic from all over the court. such hops!  and then i was surprised and disappointed that his play at stanford never matched that level - instead looking a bit lost and awkward. the interview describes injuries plus a complete lack of acceptance from family. i would guess it's hard to play to potential under that pall. and that it's nice now to have the support of a spouse.

What a wonderful picture. Thanks so much for posting this. 

As for your comment re his (then her) play at Kezar and Stanford, it very much mirrors my own thoughts about this. I'm very sensitive to his situation because I have a transgender male cousin. For him, he was much luckier with his family than Mitch appears to have been. Both his parents struggled at first with his situation, but then, while he was still in high school, they became fully supportive. This was also true of nearly all his extended family as far as I know, probably in large part because his parents were behind him.  I feel for Mitch, not apparently having had this.
