"Dear Mamas, I love this story of the 32 year old who got to play in the NBA for the first time last night! He spent ten years in the minor leagues just waiting for his chance. Isn’t this just a wonderful story? Do you think enough kids are watching him so that they can learn from his perseverance?"

Andre Ingram was a standout in the G League, supplementing his income with math tutoring, when he was called up to the NBA by the Lakers. He had an impressive debut and is making major waves. We took this listener submission to Mama Teri on Thursday's "What Would Mama Do?" and got her thoughts on Andre Ingram's inspiring rise to basketball fame.

"What Would Mama Do?" is sponsored by Moor Coffee Company, and airs every weeknight on American Ground Radio.
