Josh Nickelberry describes what fuels his fire

Posted May 2, 2017
2019 SG Josh Nickelberry (UNC offer): The greatest motivating factor that’s gotten me to where I am today is...“My dad. He’s just taught me so much about mentality and about the actual game that I owe him everything. I want to be able to take care of him one day so I’ve gotta make it. That’s a big thing that drives me when I’m on the court playing; he made me who I am.” (USA Today)
