Meet Abel

Meet Abel, a star basketball player who got even better after he started playing Unified Sports. He and his Unified teammate, Manny, became best friends as they trained for Special Olympics World Games. Abel says basketball has inspired him to reach for his dreams: whether it's playing alongside NBA sports legends at a Unified game in Madison Square Garden or working toward a college degree in sports journalism.
