CBS ran an amazing profile on Terry Rozier during the NCAA Tournament, documenting his dedication to his family and the Roziers’ experiences overcoming hardships as one.

Rozier grew up not knowing if he would have dinner on the table on a nightly basis, and his father is currently serving a twelve-year jail sentence. His older sister Tre’Dasia was born with cerebral palsy and is Terry’s number one fan.

The Celtics selected Rozier with the 16th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Check out the full video above for more on his inspiring story.
