β€οΈ Terrance Clarke was a truly inspirational 19-year-old athlete from Boston, who shortly after declaring for the 2021 NBA Draft had his young life cut short in a tragic car accident. πβ
β
Throughout the 19 years of his life, Terrence Clarke was truly one of a kind. There was a light that radiated both inside of him and all around him, from his unwavering charismatic energy to the way he always, always showed people love.β
β
That light shined brightest when he was on the basketball court. Dishing between-the-leg dunks and pulling off elite crossovers, as a top-ranked shooting guard at Brewster Academy. It continued to glimmer during his lone-season at Kentucky, where he continued to stay positive even while dealing with an injury.β
β
After declaring for the 2021 NBA Draft, the Boston-native was ready to illuminate that light at the next level and prove that if a kid from the 617 could make it, they could, too.β
β
βI want to be the first to say that I did this for the city, for the youth, for everyone. Iβm from Boston, born and raisedβ¦This is my home. I want to do it for yβall.ββ
