By Chloe Summers, Cali Championship Hoops Correspondent

Darell Kabal's journey to Cali Championship Hoops is a tale of perseverance, second chances, and the transformative power of sport. Born in Nigeria, Kabal moved to the United States at the tender age of two, but his new life in the inner city quickly went off the rails.

"I was a straight-up thug back then," Kabal admits. "Getting into fights, running with gangs, I was headed down a real dark path."

Standing at an imposing 6’7” and over 200 pounds as a teenager, Kabal became a feared bully, caught up in a criminal lifestyle and gang activity that repeatedly landed him in trouble with the law. During those turbulent high school years, basketball was the farthest thing from his mind.



However, a pivotal moment arrived when Kabal found himself cellmates with a former basketball coach while incarcerated. "Coach Williams saw something in me that I couldn't see in myself back then," Kabal recalls. This unlikely mentor not only taught Kabal the fundamentals of the game but also inspired him to pursue his GED and turn his life around. "He gave me hope for a better future."

After his release, Kabal's raw talent and size immediately caught the attention of junior college scouts in New Mexico, where he went on to win a state championship. "Those were some of the best years of my life. I was playing the game I loved and finally headed in the right direction," says Kabal. His play earned him several offers to compete at the Division I level, but just when it seemed his redemption story was taking flight, his past came back to haunt him.

In a tragic twist, Kabal's former gang affiliates, angered by his denunciation of their lifestyle, attempted to jump him at a party. "I knew they wouldn't let me go that easy," Kabal states gravely. In self-defense, Kabal hospitalized one of the assailants, landing himself back behind bars and losing his hard-earned opportunities.

It was then that James Gentry, the newly appointed head scout of the Sacramento Stallions, stepped in. "I saw a kid with incredible talent and even more incredible determination to change his life," says Gentry. Having been a fan of Kabal's since his junior college days, Gentry wrote a letter to the judge advocating for Kabal's early release and offering him a chance to try out for the team.

The Stallions organization, impressed by Kabal's raw talent and personal journey, took a chance and selected him with the fifth overall pick in the league's inaugural draft. Kabal has seized this opportunity with both hands, keeping his promise to turn his life around. "I'll never go back to that life. This game and this team saved me," Kabal affirms.

In a true storybook season, Kabal has led the Stallions to the top of the standings while being named Player of the Month. "I'm just getting started," he says with a smile. He became the first player to score 41 points in a single game, which is now the second-most in the league.

Darell Kabal's story is a testament to the power of second chances, resilience, and the ability of sports to transform lives. "If I can make it out of that hell, anybody can," Kabal says. From the depths of a gang-ridden past to the heights of professional basketball stardom, Kabal's journey is a reminder that it's never too late to rewrite your story.

Breaking News!

The Anaheim Admirals have traded star guard Josh Parks to the Long Beach Vipers in exchange for guard Kirk Barnes and a future first-round pick. Barnes had expressed his desire to be traded from the Vipers several weeks ago. Parks, who was on a one-year deal and was expected to become a free agent, had a significant contract that the Admirals have now shed with this move.
