Powe grew up in broken family, spending time in foster care. His mom died while he was in high school. He tore his ACL twice, once in high school and once at Cal.Every challenge life has thrown out Powe has been defeated.

Even worse, it might leave Powe completely unsigned -- completely unemployed -- as the Celtics have decided to not make Powe a qualifying offer.Leon Powe Will Prove the Celtics Wrong originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:55:00 EDT .
