Dion Waiters: “I’ve been through real stuff in my life. My mom got shot. My dad got shot. My grandma got shot in the head and survived. I lost my best friend, three cousins. I’ve seen things as a kid that people can’t even imagine. So when people try to break me down and build me back up, I’m like, ‘No, I’ve already been through the worst.’ That’s the gift and the curse—it’s what made me who I am. That confidence people talk about? I needed that to survive, just coming up in the city. It’s not about thinking I’m better than anyone; it’s about being a dog, being tough. That’s what Philly taught me.”
