"I am AJ Dybantsa, I am from Brockton, Massachusetts," Dybantsa said. "I'm just going out there and playing basketball. I mean, I might be ranked, but it's just basketball at the end of the day. Just a little give back to the Davis School. I went there from kindergarten to fifth grade, so I just gave back some sneakers to the basketball team. It's always fun giving back."
