Back in 2014, many projected Baylor University center Isaiah Austin to be a first round pick in the NBA draft that year. However, just a few days before the annual event, it was discovered that he had a rare genetic disorder called Marfan Syndrome and will not be able to play competitive basketball anymore.

The league made a very emotional and classy gesture that night as they still turned Austin's dream into reality when he was selected by the NBA as a “special draftee” and was honored for the hard work and dedication he showed in continuing to chase his dream.

More than two years after making his own foundation to raise awareness about the syndrome and receiving continuous treatment, Austin got cleared by his doctors to once again play the game he loves. It can be considered a miracle as his condition has improved tremendously and he has been putting in a lot of work to get to where he is now.

He was once a highly-touted prospect for his length and and his ability to create his own shots whether facing or with his back to the basket.

If he gets to the level he was at before and show everyone that he can once again be the same player he was two years ago, he may turn some heads and be given a chance to finally play in the NBA.

It will take a lot more work and sacrifice, but it's definitely hard to imagine him failing, especially after beating the syndrome that almost cost him to give up on his dream.
