By now you have probably heard of Louisville University guard Kevin Ware. The basketball player became famous instantly, but not for the reasons he would've liked after he suffered a gruesome leg injury on television during the Midwest Regional Final game of the NCAA tournament. The March Madness game was televised on CBS, who had to eventually stop showing replays, because the broken leg injury was so horrific to watch. Ware immediately was trending across the Internet and social media and eventually became the motivation for his Louisville teammates to go on and win the NCAAA National Championship over Michigan just days later.
So what is Kevin Ware up to now? Well tweeting and providing inspiration of course. After becoming a household name, taking part in TV interviews, and gaining over 100,000 more Twitter followers, Ware watched from the sidelines as his teammates won a national championship. The young basketball player seems as motivated as ever to overcome his broken leg that left teammates and coach Rick Pitino in tears.
On Monday Ware (@_billionairebev) tweeted the following message, "we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. we endure and conquer. #mambamentality" Ware included the below picture of himself on a stationary bike with his injured leg bandaged. What is remarkable is that just over two weeks ago, Ware was on his back on the court at Lucas Oil Stadium with the bone sticking out of his leg. Ware's leg was broken in two places and had to be reset with a rod inserted into his tibia. Now, just two weeks later he is already rehabbing and working out.
It's amazing to see how quickly Ware is recovering, but if you follow Ware on Twitter, you will soon find out that he is a pretty impressive young man who is very inspiring. Ware's Twitter profile reads, "Scars are not injuries, a scar is a healing. After injury, a scar is what makes you whole." Ware has had an amazing few weeks. It will be interesting to see what this young man has in store for his fans next.
