The Q Ball star was convicted at the age of 24 and is serving an 8-year prison sentence. He has a young daughter who doesn’t know him well.

With one year left on his sentence, Harry believes he might be eligible to enter the NBA league.

He’s the top player of San Quentin Warriors and his teammates call him “ATL” and “The Phenom”.

Before going to prison, Harry had the dream to become a professional basketball player.

In fact, his dreams and ambitions are still high as he hopes to play professionally once he gets out of prison.

Talking about his basketball passion, Harry says in Q Ball:

Basketball is all I’ve ever had. I’m not locked up. This is where I’m free.
