Robyn Love is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on August 28, 1990 in Ayr, Scotland. Robyn Love was born in Ayr, Scotland, on 28 August 1990. She was born with arthrogryposis, a rare condition in which the muscles are shortened, due to the wrapping of the umbilical cord around her legs. As a result, her right leg is shorter than her left, and she is missing muscles in both legs. At school she played football and tennis, but refused to participate in athletics because she knew her disability prevented her from running as fast as the other kids. During her 2008 gap year before university, surgeons at Glasgow Royal Infirmary attempted to lengthen her leg by breaking it and using plaster and pins to keep it straight. The pins had to be tightened daily, which was excruciatingly painful. They also inserted a plate in her femur that helped her walk better, but her right leg remained 10 centimetres (3.9 in) shorter, and she still walked with a limp. In 2009, she entered Edinburgh Napier University, where she studied biomedical sciences. One of the first things she did was find sports organisations, and she started playing basketball.
