My basketball ability features some God-given talent but not that much — I mean, I played Division 3 college basketball and wasn’t recruited out of high school (read below to learn about that) — my best talent is persistence. My game comes from hours of practicing, period.
Basketball is what I do most — whether it be playing, working out, training players, posting video, taking photos, writing about the game… you get the point. I diversify into other arenas and do a myriad of other things, and basketball is my passion. The competition and the long-time aspect of improving and beating my peers is what I love most about it; these aspects can also be found in other vocations, which is why I know I won’t be sitting on my hands when i’m done playing the game on a daily basis.
***
Since my first contract in September 2005, I have signed and played for 5 different teams worldwide, and been to the following countries at one time or another: Lithuania, Mexico, Germany, England, Croatia and Montenegro (former Yugoslavia). According to Eurobasket.com, 18,382 players in professional and semi-professional leagues outside the USA in 2008-09. 1,484 Americans played in 2008-09 season overseas. So we add in 400 for the guys in the NBA (throw in a couple hundred for college kids if you like also), factor in a world population of 6,781,521,494 (as of 5/22/09), that places in me in the top (less than) 1% in the known universe for my basketball ability. Neat, huh?
There are still lots of places I want to see and visit, and basketball — coupled with my ambition, which is stronger than my hoops ability– will be my vehicle for such experiences.
The following are stories about my experiences playing and the places I’ve been. The most important thing about these experiences and my recollection of the is that I am honest about what I speak on — if I wasn’t what would it be worth? — so know that while you peruse.

i do not do camps but i train individuals — http://dreallday.com/?page_id=6042
If I wanted to go pro later in life, do I need an agent to make it happen? In other words, if I was finally good enough to make it to any professional ranks, would I have to get an agent to make the deal for me? How does someone get an agent? How did you get yours, if you don’t mind me asking? I know I asked a lot, but really appreciate your time answering to all your fans!

1. Play and get experience. mental game and shot selection come from playing.

Thanks for everything Mr.Bladwin
thanks Alen. if i ever come to Australia i’ll look out for you!
Yo Dre, I have a question what do you think about guards with post game ??? I mean I’m 6’1 215lbs and not really athletic,although I can reach the rim and surprisingly good stamina and speed, I don’t have problems driving to the rim and shooting outside,but a lot of people tell me I’d play better if I lost weight but I just can’t. I’m 17 and I’ve had this problem since i was about 7…I’m good down low, I have good positioning but I get to the rim as if I’m not that big, I also have great touch around the basket and get and one’s easy worked on my handles for more intensely for 2 years and I’ve been playing for 5 years , so what do I do? when I play guys my age I straight up dominate and sometimes a big role when i play older guys weight is actually my advantage but, so i go to the post should i keep doing that ?? sorry for the long ass reply
im a guard and i have post game. (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7DA9AEEA0210E5BE)
but, how YOU play the game is for you to decide. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAp-DHE9UkU).
