Ray Johnston was a 24 yr-old loan officer with Mavericks season tickets. He was discovered by a scout at the 2004 Hoop-it-Up.Ray's tryout won him a spot on the Mavericks' summer league team.All of that changed when a bump on the shin led to surgery-and a coma. All because of the Leukemia no one knew he had-a rare form known as Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia. During this battle,Ray would be shocked back to life,twice;lungs collapsed,five days apart,with irregular heartbeat in between;kidneys failed twice & blood clots in his brain led to seizures.After successfully beating Leukemia,not once but four times (now in remission) he is pursuing a new dream.Traveling across Texas with "The Ray Johnston Band".
