Bio
For Andre Jackson, nothing in life came easy. Andre was raised in the ghetto suburbs of Harlem. In a city of drugs and violence, Andre was soon influence by his entourage. Andre took his first sniff at the early age of fourteen, held a gun at fifteen and robbed a store at sixteen. His teacher once told him"By the age of 21, you'll either be dead or in jail".
Andre's mom wasn't gonna let that happen, she sent her son to her aunt's in Nyack, New York. He soon became a star in the YMCA program. He was given a scholarship to the University of Syracuse where he won Conference Freshman of the Year. He was aiming for success until his past came hunting back. During a conference game, Andre was fouled hard going to rim. Andre ended up hitting the guy, which later provoked a brawl. Andre was suspended for the rest of the season, at best, he would end up playing in the D-League.
