About

Since I’ve been a small pup, BASKETBALL has taken my life through different avenues. From playing AAU for the Riverside Church Hawks, to getting recruited to attend boarding school at TABOR Academy, to becoming a personal trainer for the Mercy College Women’s Basketball Team, to now starting my own PODCAST! I’m a kid from The Bronx who has seen so many ups and downs when it came to players accomplishing their dreams - whether it be playing in the NBA, taking their talents overseas, or just simply making a living doing what they love to do!As a player , as a fan, as a witness, I want to take on the responsibility of bringing those memories back! Urban cities all around the world have so much insight and knowledge about the game, that it is ONLY RIGHT our voices be heard on the biggest platforms. I’ve seen players like Kemba Walker take the NCAA by storm and also put his footprints in the NBA as one of the top 25 players in the league CURRENTLY! And I’ve also witnessed players like Cory Fisher have trouble getting to the next level. I wanna talk about it!!!! I’m proud to say that I’ve started a podcast called “HOOD CENTER” (Hood version of Sports Center) and I couldn’t be more excited about it!
