00:00I see you're both still feeling it.
00:01Just describe to me, Axel, what's going through your heart right now?
00:05Every emotion possible.
00:06You know, I don't deserve to be here right now.
00:10Didn't have the traditional path.
00:12You know, this is like, I'm truly unworthy.
00:15I can't believe it.
00:16You deserve to be here, but I saw you share a long, we all saw you share a long, tearful
00:21hug with your mother when you heard your name announced.
00:24Just what was she saying to you?
00:25She was saying we did it.
00:27All the sacrifice that we've made, we finally accomplished it.
00:30You did it.
00:31She's proud of me, and she's so excited.
00:34Just six years ago, you said you were kind of lost.
00:37You didn't see a future for yourself.
00:39Just how did that kid, how did that kid get here?
00:42That kid got here because of her.
00:44She pushed a dream, forced me to go out there and step into the world and become a man.
00:49You know, I had no choice but to go out there and do the best I could.
00:52So I vowed every day to be a better man, be a better person, and just do the best I
00:58can for her.
00:59So everything I do.
01:00And now your mom is facing a challenge of her own, battling cancer.
01:05Just how special is it to be sharing this moment with her?
01:09It means everything to me.
01:10That's the least I can do for her.
01:11You know, she's done so much for me.
01:13She's put her whole life on hold for my life.
01:15And, I mean, I'm super proud of her for fighting so hard, and I'm glad we get to share this
01:20moment together.
01:20Ms. Giselle, how are you feeling right now?
01:23How are you doing?
01:24Right now, I'm blessed.
01:25I feel so blessed.
01:27It's a dream come true for us, for Jaxxell.
01:30And I think he deserves it, because he sacrificed a lot.
01:37How did you know that that kid, who seemed lost, how did you know that this is who he could
01:43be?
01:44How did you know?
01:46Because I know he has very potential.
01:50He was an amazing kid.
01:54And I know he's going to be great.
01:57And he has a dream.
01:58It's a dream come true.
02:00You want to be an NBA.
02:01He's an NBA right now.
02:03You deserve to be here.
02:05We wish you nothing but the best, Ms. Giselle.
02:07Thank you.
02:08Congratulations to you both.
02:08Thank you.
02:09Thank you.
