Aight, so about me. First things first: I play basketball and my goal is the play in the NBA. Nothing less. Europe and the other lands of the world are beautiful — I write about them here — and I’d love to see more of them. When I play my last professional game, however, I want it to be on American soil. To make it to where I’ve gotten so far, I’ll attribute it to 5 things (in alphabetical order):
- A Bold Attitude
- Determination
- Energy
- Great people around me
- Hustle
I can play ball with any player in the World, on any stage. It had taken me a damned long time to get to where I can say that, and now I’m saying it. If you ever meet me and ask me, I’ll tell you the same.
As for the rest of me, the links above and to the left will take you everywhere you need to go. If you read something you like, use the comment box and speak on it!

do you have any tips on how get your vertical jump higher
practice explosive jumping when you play/ work out. there are programs out there specifically for vertical jump; look around and decide which is for you
I have a Q?
Im Mex. so its hard to get far in sports over here people tell me by the way im playing i can get far in basketball but im too short no like super short im like 6 ft. but since i started going to the gym and im also growing I have lost my shot i cant make 3s the way i used to im struguling alot lately and that brings me down a little what can i do to get my shot back and Jump a little higher??????
practice and train… talk to a trainer if you wannna jump highger, and get in the gym and practice if you wanna be a better player.

just asking did you go to college and how much did you pay for the d league tryout and did you just show up or you called and stuff .
READ the site before you ask such questions.
id like to ask you how exactly the process of entering the NBA is, because I have read that you can send a form filled with your data to the headquarters of the NBA and show your interest on entering a draft. Then they call you and you just show your skill in the draft. Please explain it with a lot of detail I want to know all about it.
there is more than one way in; Draft is one way and free agency is another. if you want more detail than that go to the NBA’s website and read up on it.
I have been working on my game and getting better the more I play and hope someday I can become a professional basketball player.
keep working and you’ll get where u wanna get! thank for coming by!
I’m about 6’2 I make 200 three pt mon and thur. Tue and wend I make 500 mid range shots fri and sun I make 200 foul shots and running up and down the court shooting mid range. When can I see improvement in my shot. And what kind of vertical excersises can I do besides squats to gain some inches I do leg presses and calf raises now
if ur shooting that much you should see improvement in a week. but there is no science to improving a hot, you have to see for urself. for vertical stuff, look up the Air Alert program
Hi,
Whats your advice for someone whos a kid, just started playing basketball (streetball mostly), has to spend a lot of time in school, but doesnt want to take lessons, wants to do it all on his own. I have no friends who play and want to play basketball like i want. I have only one court which is outside and it keeps snowing. If youd see me, you will wonder how I became like I am now if you know ive been training in my living room for like 1 month straight everyday all day long xD I dont want to take basketball lessons yet, I dont want to play in a silly team. I want to become better, or even good first before playing in a team. What should you advice me, wait til summer so I can play on the outside court, or just take lessons? Also, if i see how much time ive got left everyday after school, I dont think i can follow every lesson.
Something about myself: If I want something, I go for it, I need a very very good reason to give up.
Hope u understood this long “story” :p.
if you ant to get better or test your game, you need to play against other people! join a team or play in a rec league outside of school. if you want to be known, you have to show your face and get out there.
I said i didnt want to come in a silly team, but if im way better than my teammates theyll probably let me join a better team. I think i’ll join one soon, thanks.
good for you. no prob!
Hi there,
I’m just a guy who lives in HongKong and watched some vids of you on youtube.
Those videos uploaded may not help much cuz people still need to work on it no matter if they watched those videos, but i reckon that it may be kind of incentive to you to work hard on your game.
I’ve seen your profile, and I found that you’re already 27, although you’re still young, as an athletes, would you think that your age actually become one of your huge obstacles to getting in the NBA?and how you’ll come over it?
I know you’ll fight for it anyway though, i’m just curious about that, i know players, especially international players play NBA late, like Navarro from Spain, i’ll say this is the ultimate goal of basketball players, right?
Do you feel you’re ready for NBA now? or is there still much room for improvement before getting a try? or make it clear, do you think you’re competitive enough for NBA now, if not, what’s your planning in the upcoming future?
even though you said many times that you won’t teach people how to practice since you’re not a trainer, but still, i wish to see this kind of videos from you (actually you did, but most of them aren’t detailed enough only), you know, there’s not many opportunities for people to know how a pro player practice everyday, and it would be a great reference for those who can die for basketball like how you’re. Of course, it’s only my opinion, it’s no need to think about it too much.
Your passion did inspired many people(including me) in my view, hope that I’ll see your performance in the NBA in the foreseeable future.
PS: I’m sorry for my poor english, hope you know what i’m talking about
hey. i answed a bunch of ur questions in my last VLog on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIUGoc0NM9U&feature=video_response. As far as my practicing, i have 100 vids posted! these are thing i really do work on. hope that helps, thanks!
I also really want to become a pro basketball player, and I am very appreciative of what you are doing here. You inspire quite alot of people to really try and reach their goals (including me).
I try to practise as much as possible, but the thing is that I dont really have the facilities around to be able to play everyday. My school gym is accessible only for my basketball training (tuesday) I play county basketball whcih trainign is on monday and games on friday. Besides those 3 days I dont really get the chance to play basketball except in outside courts. WHich I hate playing in couse of the wind and stuff messing my shot up, also whether here in england isnt exacly great. Most of the free time I have i spend in the gym workign out hoping to still get physical stronger than my competition. Basically I play ball 3 times a week of playing ball and 3 times at gym. Just wondering what you think about those figures, is it enough because I feel it isn’t.
thanks a lot. if that’s what yu have, you have to work with it and make the best of the situation! work with what you’ve got.
Yo Dre!
- Are you going to play in the D-league camp next time?

thank you.
im only 13 and 5ft’9 and im going to be a freshman. last year my team only won 4 games out of 20!!! so this offseason i spent 2 hours in the gym practicing everyday. and 1 hour conditioning. do you think ill reach my goal of making my freshman team? yes i do believe quality over quantity
only two people whose opinions matter:
1) You
2) The coach
Believe in urself before you worry if anyone else believes in you. Once you do, you wont even care what anyone else thinks!
I just read read your website and I wish the best of luck to you and hope to see you in the nba. Remember keep working hard no matter what comes your way, you must stay in your straight path to the nba and get around the obstacles in your way. Sky is the limit good luck
thanks a lot!

Hi again
my shooting was good during the past few days, but my friends started laughing at me
I asked why and they said my form was wrong
i tried doing the right form but the my confidence was lost
and for me my confidence is really important while playing bball. Did you ever face a problem like this? If yes, what did you do

Hi,
I just recently watched some of your vids. And they really motivated me. I’ve had the same dream as you for along time, I’ve been dreaming of playing proffessional basketball ever since i was 7 years old. I’m only 15 teen years old and only 5ft 8 but ive come along ways since middle school. And i’ve been knocked down many times and have gone through many challenges and i was just wondering what tips you have for achieveing my dream goal.
Thanks
