On his mother's battle with kidney disease while he was in high school

"During my junior year, she almost passed away," Gore said. "She was in intensive care. But she made it through. I remember we were playing against Miami Central in the playoffs. Usually I don't like going to the hospital. But I went up there and saw her with all these tubes coming out of her. I asked her, 'Mom, do you want me to play?' She shook her head like, 'Yes.' So, I went out there and I had a pretty good game."
