Jarrius Robertson, the diminutive 14-year-old kid from Master P’s hometown of New Orleans, has been battling a liver disease called biliary atresia. Master P, who has always been about helping the next generation, recently walked Robertson on to the court during the 2017 NBA Celebrity Game, where he was clearly impressed with the young firecracker.
“I love the kids,” the No Limit founder said in a press release. “I had to get Jarrius in the game, move the big people out of the way for him and let him do what he do best — get buckets. This little kid is an all-star. He has the biggest heart and I’m happy I met him. Even in his condition, he’s still happy and smiling. What a blessing, he’s truly the real MVP of the NBA Celebrity Game.”
Robertson also explained how he got into the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game and what it meant to score a basket. “Master P told me to shoot the ball when I get it and that’s what I did. P got me into the game and walked me onto the court, the rest was history.”
Robertson is still battling chronic liver disease, but that’s clearly not stopping him from balling and chasing his dreams. “This kid is special and he wears the heart of New Orleans on his sleeve,” Master P added. “He deserves the MVP trophy and I will make sure he gets one.”
