Brandon J. Adams
Age 18
Nashville, Tennessee
He dreamed of being called “coach”
Basketball was in his blood — he was the son of a coach, the nephew of a league director and a star player himself.
Yet, despite his love for the sport, he had just made a choice: rather than pursuing a college career, he would try to follow in his father’s footsteps and coach the kids in his neighborhood, hoping to give back to a community that had offered him so much.
Brandon J. Adams, 18, affectionately called “B-don” by family and friends, was shot during a late-night hangout in Nashville, Tennessee, on October 14, 2018. He never had the opportunity to be a coach like his dad.
