Sam and I had the opportunity to meet this tough little girl in the hospital a few months ago after one of her multiple open heart surgeries. Tonight we were able to host her and her family to watch our team pull off a hard fought win! Thanks for coming, Amber! ❤️.
Pretty sure we witnessed a core memory in the making… 🥹. @dekker with the biggest assist of the night 🦁❤️. #wearelondon

Jama is truly one of a kind! Guy doesn’t get enough credit for what he’s done as a coach and leader. Everything Norm said could be repeated by everyone Jama has impacted.
To hear all the praise Norman Powell has sang for coach Jama Mahlalela is inspiring. That’s how you impact a young kids life❗️. We need more of these stories.
