Who Is Mario West?

I’ve been around the league a long time, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy work as hard.
— Mike Woodson- Atlanta Hawks Coach
Minutes have been hard to come by for Mario, but he makes the best of them. In a win over Utah last season, he executed a spectacular tip dunk that even made it into Sports Center’s Top 10 Plays. Despite the lack of opportunity, West keeps working.
— Topps Company, Inc.
West is living every kids dream. A walk- on at Georgia Tech before graduating as team captain in 06-07, he was drafted not by an NBA team, but by the Harlem Globetrotters. In 07-08, he walked on again — this time in the NBA.

MY PROMISE

I promise to assist students financially who plan to pursue their dream by getting a college education.


About Me

My nAME IS Mario West

I am more than an athlete. I am a child of God, a father, and a husband. I’m a dreamer that believes in tapping into your God given potential to fulfill those dreams. My dream was to play in the NBA, it’s been my dream since the age of 7 years old. I faced many challenges throughout this journey, and my faith was tested over & over. All glory to God for the dream that was placed on my heart & for his guidance as I developed my skill set.

Lastly, I’m a firm believer of God’s word that says “ To whom much is given, Much will be required” (Luke 12:48). When I think about all that was given to me by the grace of God. It is only right that I plant seeds of inspiration in the youth, that will empower them to make the necessary sacrifices and take a leap of faith to “Defend The Dream”.
