A name NBA fans have grown increasingly familiar with in recent years is Lethal Shooter. 38-year-old Chris Matthews, who goes by ‘Lethal Shooter,’ has gained a lot of buzz on social media and within the NBA as a shooting coach. 

Matthews has 2.5 million followers on Instagram, including Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Dwyane Wade. But he had to grind a lot to get to this level, and he recently shared his incredible journey on social media. 

“Was homeless in 2015, didn’t QUIT! Had $14 in my account, didn’t QUIT! On food stamps, didn’t QUIT! Didn’t make it to the NBA, didn’t QUIT! Sold soda for income, didn’t QUIT! Was only eating one meal, didn’t QUIT! Locked up three times in DC, didn’t QUIT! Dad died in my arms, didn’t QUIT!!!!! 

“List goes on and on and on! Never give up on your GOALS in life you never know when your CONSISTENCY will pay off!! I believe in you! FU&K what the haters say, Keep moving in your purpose. -Stay locked in!”

This is an incredible journey, especially considering the levels he has reached now. Lethal Shooter trained with Anthony Davis during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, with their workout going viral last year. He has also trained with the likes of Dwight Howard and Cole Anthony of the Orlando Magic, it is safe to say that he has made it to the big time.


Lethal Shooter Has Even Bigger Plans For His Future

Lethal Shooter has made himself a big name despite never making the NBA. He turned his high school average of 13.0 points per game on 53% from the field, 51% from three-point range, and 86% from the free-throw line into a serious career. 

And he has bigger plans too. He wrote to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver asking to take point in the NBA’s 3-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend. Now, this could seem like quite the stretch, but he would never have imagined that he would be working with Drake when he was homeless or in prison, either. His story is truly inspirational.
