Dan Shanahan's memoir, If You Don't Know Me, Don't Judge Me, is a raw and honest account of his life, from his troubled childhood to his rise to success as a professional basketball player. This emotionally charged story is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or marginalized.

Shanahan was born into poverty in a small town in Indiana. His father was an alcoholic and his mother was addicted to drugs. He was often left to fend for himself, and he quickly learned to rely on his own instincts. As a young boy, Shanahan was diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed medication to help him focus. However, the medication made him feel like a zombie, and he eventually stopped taking it.

Despite his challenges, Shanahan was a gifted athlete. He excelled in basketball, and he eventually earned a scholarship to a Division I college. However, his college career was cut short when he was arrested for drug possession. After spending a year in jail, Shanahan returned to his hometown and tried to rebuild his life. He got a job at a factory, but he soon realized that he wasn't happy. He missed basketball, and he knew that he had more to offer the world.

With the support of his family and friends, Shanahan decided to give basketball another try. He joined a semi-professional team, and he quickly became one of their best players. In 2014, Shanahan signed a contract with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the NBA Development League affiliate of the Miami Heat. He played for the Skyforce for two seasons, and he helped them win the 2016 D-League championship.

Shanahan's story is one of redemption and hope. He overcame adversity to achieve his dreams, and he is now using his platform to help others. He is a motivational speaker, and he has a foundation that provides scholarships to underprivileged students. Shanahan is also a role model for young people who are struggling with mental health issues.
