A new generation of Rockdogs has arrived, and Jamel Lewis is leading the charge with vanguard style. Since joining the Rockdogs in 2005, Jamel has brought a new level of game to the Rockdogs, on and off the court. Recognized as one of the top high school basketball players in the nation, Jamel -- like his homey Mike -- has pro-ball dreams and the skills to match. For Jamel, all things are possible, as he mixes youthful idealism, gospel inspiration, and a street-slang all his own to create his authentic and much-loved flavor. With his big personality and improvisational humor, Jamel (a.k.a. Jamonce') is a one-man variety show and life-of-the-party, whose unique expressions and quick come-backs have helped create a team language known as RockTalk. Not to mention, the man can dance. Seriously.
With all his charisma, Jamel throws the team off-guard when he comes back after a family stay to declare that being gay is a choice, and that he just isn't feeling it anymore. For his teammates who have struggled with reconciling faith, family, and sexuality, this is hard news to hear, and a disconnect from the Jamel they thought they new. It will take his own deep and abiding faith, support of the Rockdogs surrogate family, and mentoring from the likes of former NBA pro John Amaechi and NFL pro Esera Tuaolo... as Jamel seeks answers to living, loving, and growing authentically.
