Canoga Park, CA, January 4, 2024 – The Able Show, a groundbreaking show celebrating inspiration and resilience, is proud to announce former NBA superstar Olden Polynice as its host.

Created by Davina Douthard, the show is a collaboration between Polishing The Professional, a full-service career center, and Dream Magic Studios, a full-service production studio.

Born November 21, 1964, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Polynice’s journey from high school basketball in the Bronx, New York, to the University of Virginia to a fantastic career in the NBA has been nothing short of extraordinary. “I never dreamed of playing basketball, let alone in the NBA; I was born with a physical disability that affected my ability to walk. So, running, later, was an amazing feat.” Polynice reflects. Retiring from professional basketball after 17 years, he explored various pursuits, including running a successful inclusive basketball training camp. When approached by Davina Douthard, Executive Producer of The Able Show, to host, Polynice enthusiastically embraced the idea, marking a new chapter in his diverse career post-basketball.
