Rondae Hollis-Jefferson recalls the beauty of the struggle

Anthony Puccio sat down this week with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson about what made him who he is, not the coaching or the big games, but his life and times in Chester, Pennsylvania.

For Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, the struggles were countless, but the beauty that came from those struggles formed a rising star, brother, gracious son, and a class act.

By now, everybody has either seen or heard about Rondae's viral video showing him buying his mother, Rylanda Hollis, her very first home.
