It's every young athlete's dream to one day play in the pros of their respective sport. I myself was even convinced I would one day be an NBA player. Unfortunately, I quickly realized my 5'10" frame probably wasn't going to cut it in a league filled with LeBrons.
But two months ago, as I was on the verge of graduating college, I said "screw it" and decided I'd try my luck at making the league before getting a "real" job. So what did I do? I entered my name into the 2016 NBA Draft. (Which was super easy, by the way.)
This series chronicles my journey to my NBA dream: I go through the trials and tribulations of being a professional prospect, I get advice from the NBA's best, and I even suit up against some pros. In Episode 1, I go through the rigors of becoming eligible for the league, link up with my fellow Syracuse Orange Carmelo Anthony, and suit up for a game at Dyckman Park. Check out the episode above and keep an eye out for the next episode tomorrow!
