"Being included in the NBAs celebrity all star game is a high honor" says Leeper, and would like to extend a big round of applause for Adam Silver. "I met Adam at the Sports Congress in 2014, and "he gets it"." He understands that there are 54,000,000 disabled Americans, and I am fortunate to have a voice for these people" "We just want to be treated equal says Leeper" who was born with a congenital birth defect, and has been wearing prosthetics since he was 9 months old.

"When people meet me, and people like me, there reaction tends to be that of pity and standoffishness"  'Were not looking for pity, or for people to avoid us; We want to be challenged...we want to rise to your challenge...and in most cases, we can do it as well ,and even better then the able bodied" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtVWyjXiv-4
