NBA STAR MICHAEL SWEETNEY TO SPEAK ON SHABBOS AT INVITATIONAL

He was selected 9^th overall in the 2003 NBA Draft – a draft that featured hall of famers Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh.

Despite being at the pinnacle of his profession, Michael experienced personal tragedy that led him to spiral into depression and attempted suicide.

After finding his inner strength, he was able to overcome his depression.  He now travels the world as a motivational speaker presenting inspirational messages about overcoming personal challenges and maximizing every moment of every day. Michael recently returned from Israel where he traveled the country meeting with children and holding camps for Israeli professional teams.
